Field notes

The homepage organizes each investigation around a case file containing suspects, places, clues, contradictions, and evidence. Its interview model uses freeform questions, with the page showing a contradiction when a suspect's claimed return home conflicts with a bridge-camera sighting. Sample cases range from a locked-room guest mystery to a missing ledger at a riverside gala, with difficulty and cast sizes displayed.
