Field notes
The site frames the game as a sequence of readable case files rather than a conventional puzzle interface. Its central mechanic is perspective: choosing Halvorsen or Reid for an interview changes what the player learns from the same witness. The planned harbour season carries case notes between episodes, while chapter replay and a full choice transcript are described as part of the casebook access. The homepage does not show pricing or an immediately playable build.
