Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.
A murder has been reported on Ocean Shore, Detective. Welcome to Pacific Bay — where paradise has a dark side.
Criminal Case: Pacific Bay is the second season of the award-winning hidden object detective series that has turned more than 100 million players into detectives. Search crime scenes for clues, examine the evidence, interrogate the suspects — and when the proof is solid, arrest the killer yourself. Standalone story: no prior season needed.
INVESTIGATE CRIME SCENES
Every case starts at the scene of the crime. Search gorgeous hand-drawn locations for hidden objects and vital clues, race the clock for the best score, and earn the stars that move your investigation forward.
RUN THE LAB
Bring your findings to the Pacific Bay crime lab. Analyze samples, decode messages, reconstruct torn documents and match fingerprints. In this city, every detail talks — if you know how to listen.
INTERROGATE THE SUSPECTS
Bring witnesses and suspects in for questioning. Compare their statements with the facts, catch them lying, and profile your killer trait by trait until only one name is left.
ARREST THE KILLER
Most mystery games end when you find the last object. Criminal Case is where it gets serious: match the evidence to your suspects and put the right one behind bars. Get it wrong, and a killer walks free.
A WHOLE CITY TO CLEAN UP
From the boardwalk of Ocean Shore to the swamps of Bayou Bleu, from the movie studios of Ivywood Hills to the casinos of Paradise City — every neighborhood of Pacific Bay is a different slice of America, and every one of them hides a killer. Case after case, the deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes: something is rotten in paradise.
MEET YOUR PARTNERS
Officer Amy Young — rookie, brilliant, and far too honest for this city. Detective Frank Knight — veteran, cynical, and hiding more than he lets on. With Chief Marquez's team behind you and a coroner who swears the corpses talk to her, you never investigate alone.
