Field notes
The library lists four files set in places including Alsace, Sweden, Türkiye and Madrid, with fictional case dates spanning 1993 to 2009. Players can start with the short “Closing Time” training file or choose among three further dossiers; the homepage describes the cases as playable solo or with up to five friends. It also says player data can be deleted and optional analytics can be changed.
