Folklore Casebook is a collection of short “folklore suspense” spot-the-difference puzzles. Each episode draws on local legends and urban tales. In every scene, observe carefully, find 10 anomalies, assemble the clues, and unlock multiple endings to uncover what really happened.
Core gameplay
Spot & deduce: Examine illustrated scenes—people, props, lighting, symbols—and tap the details that don’t add up.
10 key clues per case: Each level has 10 fixed anomalies. Review found clues anytime to keep your reasoning on track.
Multiple endings: After spotting all anomalies, make concise deductions to reach normal, true, or hidden endings.
Gradual challenge: From obvious contrasts to subtle misplacements and symbolic hints that reward sharp observation.
Themes & levels
Folklore tone: Inspired by street whispers, rural lore, and restrained ghost stories—creepy but not gory.
Bite-size episodes: Most stories take 3–8 minutes, perfect for short sessions.
Replay value: A new order of discovery or a different hypothesis can surface fresh interpretations.
Highlights
Readable art: Layouts optimized for clarity; important elements have clear hierarchy and contrast.
Lightweight deduction: Minimal jargon, focused on atmosphere and story closure rather than hardcore logic barriers.
Archive & collection: Revisit endings, clues, and author notes in the in-game “Casebook.”
Offline friendly: Primarily single-player; no sign-in required for basic play.
Onboarding & assistance
Hint system: Optional hints (via rewarded ads) or soft area highlights when you’re stuck. You can remove ads via a one-time purchase for an uninterrupted experience.
Simple controls: Tap/press/zoom interactions cover most actions.
Comfort: Key zones use deliberate contrast to reduce eye strain and mis-taps.
