A short non-linear detective adventure where every clue is hidden in plain sight. Carefully read and cross-reference documents to unravel a CEO’s disappearance and expose a case of fraud.
Inspired by The Roottrees are Dead!
You're a detective on a case with a twist: the evidence is already in your hands. From the start, you're given a binder of documents and a single objective: solve the mysterious disappearance of a successful CEO.
There’s no searching for clues or hand-holding. The entire case unfolds through extensive reading and careful analysis. Your only tool is your mind, and every breakthrough comes from your ability to notice connections that others might miss.
Zoolingo is a seemingly thriving startup which is building a pet translation app. After landing a massive round of investor funding, its CEO has vanished. Only a few documents have escaped the shredder. Your job is to meticulously read through every piece of paper.
Reconstruct the identities and roles of the family and employees, uncover motive and opportunity, and expose the fraudulent scheme at the heart of the disappearance.
Note: the art was hand drawn in Procreate using an iPad (6th Gen) and Apple Pencil (1st Gen)
