Play Tips This game is the first installment in the CaseCracker series. For subsequent storylines, you can continue with CaseCracker 2. The demo presents the first case of CaseCracker, which is free to play. After purchasing the full version, it will be automatically merged into the full version archive in future playing. Clearing the main storyline will provide the core experience of the game, but finding all the clues and completing the game will reveal more hidden plots and a more comprehensive worldview. Only cracking the main story line can get the core experience of the game, but finding all the clues will help you learn more hidden plots and have a more complete Chicheng worldview. About the Game As a tester, you must complete the case's cracking under the system's rules. The cracking process of the case is very similar to the real police case. The cases in the system all happened in Chicheng and are stored as key clues. Each clue contains different and essential information about the case. You need to constantly find new clues by looking at the information and fragmenting the clues. The content pieced together the completed case in your mind and reasoned out the course of the case. As long as you answer the correct questions about the case in the system, you can crack the case. After cracking the case, you can view the criminal’s “criminal statement”. Clues are interconnected. To move the case forward, it is necessary to find the information needed to discover another clue from one lead. In the process of cracking the case, you sometimes need to perform special operations on some clues, such as inferring the motives of the characters to complete the 'search warrant' for the clues of the characters and inferring a reasonable time to 'invoke the monitoring' to check and reason out. After the correct password of the encryption clue is 'decoded', the encrypted content can be viewed, and so on. The more user-friendly design is that you can ask the system for help when you have no clue. The system will give you a certain range of tips, but a certain amount of investigative points will be deducted. After you have solved all the cases, Chicheng police will give your final evaluation based on the detection points and your performance. You can proactively choose the direction of the investigation. No passive choices. All cases are in the same worldview. Independent but also connected. Hidden dark lines. You can dig into puzzles outside the game. More than one ending? One playthrough. Make sure you take every choice seriously! Disclaimer: This is a text-only game with no motion pictures. The story takes place in the 'Chicheng City' worldview. If there are any similarities, it is purely coincidental. Thanks: Thanks to Ge Meiling, Shen Yongliang, Wang Xun, GT, and Chaochao for their help in the game production process, thank you family for your understanding and support, thank all friends who helped test and promote, and thank all players!
