Field notes
The investigation workflow runs through a dashboard where players can read documents, follow a timeline, pin evidence, and annotate inconsistencies. The page says people link to exhibits that mention them and exhibits link back to timeline minutes; the available first case is estimated at 8–12 hours. Cases 002 and 003 are listed as in production, with expected release quarters.
