Can you uncover what really happened here? Who is the owner, and what role did they play in the recent events? And finally – will the seemingly simple case of a dead android in an alley spiral into something far larger, involving powerful forces and the urban legends lurking in the shadows? 🧩

Good to see you, Detective! #devlog
Hello, Detective🕵️
Let's see what has changed here recently 👁️
First and foremost, it's worth highlighting that we finally had the chance to meet in that shadowy alley and delve into the mystery surrounding the death of the android. For those intrepid detectives who remain eager for more thrills, remember that there's still an opportunity to sign up for the playtests!
🩸A detective’s work isn’t just about scouring alleys and hidden corners; sometimes it involves delving into the very essence of the victim. Literally. In this technology-dominated world, blood can provide answers to many questions. And you'll be able to analyze it to uncover further clues.
🧹Cyberdust remains an enigmatic phenomenon. It settles on objects, concealing their true identities. To unearth valuable clues, you'll need to get your hands dirty. But never has it been so gratifying.
🧱Cyberdust doesn’t just settle on objects. You might encounter walls or other surfaces coated in it, often linked to human activity... or the actions of other beings.
🔒Even if you know the code to a lock, it’s useless without proper authorization. In such cases, your only option is to hack it.
⚡Sometimes you'll come across broken wires. It’s always worth connecting them - even if they don’t open anything, they might at least illuminate a few lights!
🤖Reconstruction is fundamental to a detective’s work. You need to transport the data sphere to the correct location to reconstruct it. The closer you get, the more the data will become turbulent. If you get really close, the data remnants will pinpoint the exact location for you.
💃🕺Dance hall. Why does it always lead to such places - beautiful, grand structures that merely mask the corruption and bitterness of those within? What will you uncover this time about the investigation... and human nature?
Thank you for your tests, detectives. They have given us incredibly valuable feedback. We invite you to join our Discord, where you can not only report bugs but also share your ideas.
Let’s stay in touch!🤝
Improvements in the investigation
Welcome, Detectives! 🕵️
We are continuously testing the game and receiving amazing feedback from you, so we have made a few improvements and fixes to the playtest. We hope that the implemented fixes will make your experience better and more immersive.
By the way, we're sending out more invitations for the playtest.
Changelog:
The name of the clue will appear when you hover over it in the clues menu
Fixed the issues with the loading screen freezing
Fixed issues in the investigation – added the missing letter of the code and a hint for the puzzle (additional hint: look by the dog and follow the colors)
Fixed the functionality of the sound options
Answers to some questions have been slightly changed to better fit and be more consistent
Added new effects for cleaning cyberdust from walls and floors
Added a hint to the reconstruction – now, if the bullet is near the reconstruction area, a clue will appear to help locate it
Added markers for interactions, making them easier to locate – they will appear after using the scanner
Additionally, it’s time for a small update on Steam! As our project has significantly developed recently, we’ve prepared a new, refreshed version of the trailer and screenshots that showcase the progress. We also wanted to show you more of the second location – The Dance Hall!
Check it out on the main page!

You got hacked!
Detective!
I'm in serious trouble. Unfortunately, access has been disrupted, and I need to restore it. I'm waiting for support and updates on this issue. Access should be restored soon, but until then, you won't be able to continue the investigation. Please forgive me, partner.
[We are currently experiencing technical issues with the playtest and are awaiting a response from Steam. All users who received access to the app will be able to play as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will notify you as soon as the issue is resolved and access is restored.]

Time to piece together the clues
Hello Detective.
Sometimes a new perspective on the case is needed
Some things shift in the shadows, but the core remains unaltered. Adapt or vanish into the city's dark void.
To avoid getting lost in the twists of the case and the maze of mysteries, your crime board is indispensable. Organize the clues to answer the key questions.
Blood reveals much about a person. Use this information to link events and places, and steer the investigation onto the right path.
Nothing beats old-school detective methods... but bullet's trajectory reconstruction is quite useful.
Be careful when examining contaminated evidence. Hopefully, you won't come across too many glitches.
Don't forget to join our secret communication channel here
Recent changes have allowed us to make everything consistent and showcase the project's unique identity. Join us on Discord to share your ideas or ask questions - we're here for you!
Now the real game begins. Streets are haunted by tales of legendary techno-vampires, and the stakes could be higher than ever.
Wanna take the case?
Shall we dance?
Welcome to the Dance Hall, Detective.
Join our dedicated Discord , where you can talk about the game, share your ideas and chat with us - the devs!
Before you press on with your investigation here, allow me to show you something!
Some clues and places are veiled in cyber dust - remnants of clandestine exchanges. Clear the haze before proceeding.
Cyberspace awaits your scrutiny. Here, amidst the digital ether, lies a trove of valuable leads. Beware of getting lost in its labyrinthine depths.
And then there's the Dance Hall itself—an exclusive haunt for the city's elite. You'll encounter some peculiar individuals there. How to discern deception when there is no face at all? What dark secrets lurk within its opulent façade? Your investigation will guide you there. Trust no one, question everything.
We're drawing closer, detective. Should questions arise or insights emerge, relay them through our secure channel.
