Open Verdict

Every detective game has the same rhythm: gather the evidence, ask the right questions, name the killer. Open Verdict keeps the rhythm and rebuilds the interrogation.

There's no multiple choice. You sit across from the suspect, ask whatever you want in your own words, and they answer in character. They lie. They contradict each other. They slip, and a sharp detective catches it.

HOW A CASE WORKS • Read the briefing as the case opens on its scene • Examine the evidence where it was found • Question every suspect: ask anything, or pick from the prepared lines • Catch the lie, then press them with the evidence • Name the killer and attach your proof. Three pieces that agree make an AIRTIGHT case; a guess is just a guess

EVERY SUSPECT COULD BE THE KILLER Solved a case? Play it again. On most cases the killer can be someone else next time, with their own motive, their own lies and their own trail of evidence.

FIVE ERAS OF MURDER Victorian London, 1920s Prohibition, the gritty 1970s, the present day and a neon near future, each with its own Bureau captain, forensics expert and coroner.
