About this game
A short, non-linear detective adventure. Investigate the mysterious disappearance of a successful CEO by analysing documents from her home and office. Examine evidence, connect clues, and make your own deductions to uncover a case of fraud.
Zoolingo is a seemingly successful startup company aiming to build a translation app that allows people to understand their pets. After landing an enormous amount of investor funding, the CEO has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. The only evidence you have is a whole lot of documents. Piece together the identities and roles of the family and employees, figure out who had motive and opportunity, and construct a case to unravel the fraudulent scheme.
Inspired by open-ended narrative deduction games like The Roottrees are Dead.
Features:
