High-tech gadgets and surveillance gear is awesome, but sometimes low-tech might do the job just as well or maybe even better.

The tools and gadgets help a lot, but knowing when and how to apply them is as important. Another important crime solving tool at your disposal is the narrative system that not only covers all situations related to the case, but also your own actions creating a highly immersive environment and aiding your gameplay should you run into problems proceeding in a case.
