Description
Detective Stories: Case 1 – The Fire in Adlerstein (English) – Cooperative Detective Game
Detective Stories: Case 1 – The Fire in Adlerstein is an English-language cooperative detective game published by iDventure. A fatal fire has left a journalist accused of arson, and the evidence he has gathered asks you to reconsider the case.
Examine the case materials, compare clues and use online research to decide whether the accused journalist is telling the truth. Your task is to identify the person responsible, using observation and deduction rather than a prescribed sequence of moves.
