THE CASE: OCTOBER 10, 2003 — CABLE CAR PYLON 2
At dawn on the cable car groundbreaking day in Danwol City, a body is found beneath Pylon 2. You play as local reporter Yoon Ji-woo, racing a morning newspaper print deadline (every investigation action costs 30 minutes).
Three of the Wednesday-night alibis clash directly with witness rumors:
1. Director Yeom: "I turned the lights off early and slept in Motel Room 307." (Witness: Room 307 stayed lit every night while Yeom fixed documents.)
2. Team Lead Kang: "I stayed in the control room, but no gondola moved that night." (Witness: Kang ran a lone gondola in the dark before opening day.)
3. Manager Ha: "I stayed home taking calls all night." (Witness: Ha's office drafted a 'suicide' press release naming the victim before police even identified the body.)
5-ROUTE RANDOMIZED CULPRIT SYSTEM
Every time you start a new run, the true culprit, the physical trick at Pylon 2, and the decisive contradiction shift across 5 completely distinct routes.
We'd love to hear which culprit route you get on your first playthrough!
