New season: The Valley of Shadows. Ürgüp, October 1958: five new cases, lanterns among the fairy chimneys and magic-lantern slides on your desk. No ghosts, only clues.
Türkiye, 1958. One photograph. Everyone in it is lying.
In CASE No: 1958 you are the detective. A crime scene photo lies in front of you: zoom in, tap every suspicious detail, collect the evidence, question the suspects and find the killer. Nobody hands you the answer; you prove every conclusion with evidence from the photograph.
From darkrooms and foggy docks to snowbound hotels and valleys of stone, the case files take you across a country caught between old secrets and a changing world. Every file brings a new place, a new circle of suspects and a lie hidden in the photograph. There is no rush; all you have to do is look closely.
■ HOW TO PLAY
• Zoom into the photo and tap the clues.
• Every underlined word goes into your notebook.
• Question the suspects and catch the contradictions in their stories.
• Fill in the solution notebook: Who? Where? When? Why?
• Stuck? Ask your informant.
■ WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
• A multi-season series of case files: every season has its own city, its own mystery and its own big secret that opens in the finale.
• Handcrafted scenes: 1950s atmosphere in film noir light.
• Fair play: every blank has exactly one answer and the clues are always in the photograph. No losing, no timers.
• Solve cases and climb the ranks.
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Apple Watch, Siri and Shortcuts support, none of them spoiling a thing.
• Available in English, Turkish, German, Arabic, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese.
• Calm and fair: clues are never locked behind a paywall.
• No ads, no tracking, no account needed.
New season: The Valley of Shadows, in Cappadocia.
The file is on your desk, detective.
