More about this game
You play as Matthew, a night shift dispatcher handling bizarre emergencies in Roseville. Your goal is to successfully close six cases per shift. The core loop involves reading caller transcripts, searching the archive terminal for keywords, and inspecting evidence photos to deduce what is actually happening. You must choose the correct explanation from three options on the Real Truth screen. Guessing incorrectly adds a penalty to your stress meter. If you accumulate three mistakes, Matthew resigns and the run ends immediately.
Tips
- Always tap the evidence picture to unlock the enhanced scene note. This observation often directly contradicts the caller's wild claims.
- If you are stuck, tap the suggested yellow chips below the search bar. You need at least one clue before filing a finding.
- Read the database records carefully. Knowing a Samsung phone vibrates loudly or a Ford Fiesta weighs 1,100 kg helps eliminate impossible options.
Questions
How many cases do I need to solve?
You must complete a full shift of six cases. You will handle calls from locals like Jack Jones and Owen Cane reporting things like haunted guitars and unboilable eggs.
What happens if I choose the wrong explanation?
Selecting an unsupported finding adds one point to your stress meter and locks out that choice. If your stress meter reaches three points, Matthew resigns and your shift ends.
Why can't I confirm my finding on the Real Truth screen?
The game requires you to investigate at least one clue first. You must either find a database match or inspect the evidence photo before the confirm button works.
