The Crane Files: A Detective Mystery

About the Game

Someone is leaving paper cranes at crime scenes.

A businessman dead behind a locked door. A chef struck down after the last service. A professor poisoned on the overnight train. Each case looks ordinary. Each one has a paper crane hidden somewhere in the scene.

How it plays

• Examine every object and body in a hand-built 3D scene. Rotate, zoom, look closer.
  
• Question the suspects. Everyone has a story, and most of them are lying about something.
  
• Collect words from clues and statements: names, times, weapons, motives.
  
• Fill in the solution by placing the right words into the blanks. Get one or two wrong and you'll know you're close, but not which ones.

Ten cases, each with a new twist

Two-room timelines. Anonymous passengers you must identify by name. Parties where everyone is lying. Before-and-after scenes to compare. Two crimes with two culprits. A crowd of eight suspects. Two killers working together. And a final case that ties every file together.
