NOTEHow Cases Connect
Each case you solve feeds the larger picture.
- Medical documents — the gauge from the opening letter — recur across investigations
- People from one case appear in later ones, with relationships that persist
- The mysterious event that fractured Dark Tide City ten years ago is the thread connecting everything
NOTECase-Solving Checklist
The routine that works on every case we have played.
- Read every document before talking to anyone
- Reconstruct the scene early — then re-read it after new information
- Note contradictions between what witnesses say and what reconstruction shows
- Decide whether the case calls for justice or protection before you act
