Field notes
The case list ranges from the 1560 Martin Guerre identity dispute to a 1761 accusation against Jean Calas, with other entries—including the Falaise sow trial—marked sealed. Each investigation is described as a three-part sequence, and the page warns that players cannot verify every piece of evidence and must choose their investigative actions. Listed play times run from roughly eight to fifteen minutes.
