The case file · written by Questo Originals

A perfect date night. Two suspects. One of them planned a murder.

Just as introductions begin, a chilling scream tears through the crowd, one of the guests has been murdered, and the killer has fled into the city.

Before panic can take hold, Agent X steps forward. This was no random attack. Every participant is now part of a deadly puzzle, and the only way to survive is to solve it.

Was it the charming Yoga instructor who vanished right after the scream? The wedding singer seen arguing with the victim? Or someone else hiding their true identity among the dating profiles?

Follow clues across the city, interrogate suspects in real locations, and track the killer's movements before they disappear for good. Bring your sharpest instincts, and your pen and paper. In 90 minutes, the trail will go cold.

Love was the reason you came. Justice is why you stay.
