Wegen Brandstiftung mit fatalen Folgen wird ein Journalist angeklagt. Er sammelte zahlreiche Beweise mit dem Ziel, seine Unschuld zu beweisen. Sie müssen ermitteln, ob er die Wahrheit sagt, und den wahren Verbrecher finden. Das Spiel ist als realistischer Kriminalfall ausgedacht und erfordert Untersuchungen ähnlich denen, die von der Kriminalpolizei im wirklichen Leben durchgeführt werden. —description from the designer (German)
