A man is dead in the back office of a failing nightclub and three people had keys. You are Detective Reyes, with twelve questions before the captain takes the file off you, and three suspects who have had all night to decide who they are going to be for you.
It runs in your browser — no install, no account. You spend a fixed budget of twelve questions across three suspects. Asking costs one; pressing someone on a contradiction costs two and raises the pressure on them. Build the case on the evidence board, then make the accusation.
The run is three cases played in order — the cold room, the loading bay and the fire stairs — and they escalate. Night one is a transaction. Night two is after somebody has died who nobody had a reason to kill. Night three is three people who have all now been in this room twice.
Three endings: the clean solve, the right answer for the wrong reason, and the wrong accusation. The case file is always true and the suspects are not, so the clean solve comes from reconciling the two on the board rather than from pressing hardest. Every case's decisive line is reachable on pressure alone, which means no scene and no unlock is ever required to win.
Each case has one censored evidence photograph in the locker, and that photograph is the case's withheld detail rather than decoration. Pressing a suspect to three opens that suspect's private route. On this site both unlock by watching a short sponsor banner that plays in the page and counts down by itself. The paid download on itch has no ads and nothing gated.
Explicit, consensual, all characters adults. Noir crime setting; the murder is discussed, not shown. No NTR, no guro, no loli. Mixed cast. Made with AI in the loop and a person steering it: the art is generated and then culled, retouched and composited by hand, and the writing and scripting were worked out the same way. We would rather say that plainly than pretend either half.
