-description from the designer
In unserem Spiel werden Sie als echter Detektiv tätig sein, um den Fall eines verdächtigen Brands zu untersuchen, der in der Stadt Adlerstein stattfand und zum Tod eines Bürgers führte.
Wegen Brandstiftung mit fatalen Folgen wird ein Journalist angeklagt. Er sammelte zahlreiche Beweise mit dem Ziel, seine Unschuld zu beweisen.
Sie müssen ermitteln, ob er die Wahrheit sagt, und den wahren Verbrecher finden.
Das Spiel ist als realistischer Kriminalfall ausgedacht und erfordert Untersuchungen ähnlich denen, die von der Kriminalpolizei im wirklichen Leben durchgeführt werden.
