As this project is still under development and yet to be released, I am unable to share specific details or showcase my contributions in full. However, my work has involved crafting intricate mission structures, designing engaging gameplay experiences, and ensuring the narrative and gameplay align seamlessly.

About Gameplay:

Every case revolves around an evidence board—imagine it as a sentence with all the nouns (clues) missing! You aim to explore the world, uncover these clues, and piece them together logically to complete the story. Roam freely, talk to anyone, and don the perfect disguise to gain the upper hand. Need a quick escape? Grab a nearby object and throw it to distract or disarm—whether it’s chasing away dogs, disabling cameras, or even tossing trash at a litterer for a mix of cash and catharsis. With endless objects at your disposal, every interaction becomes part of the adventure!
