Developer description, as provided in the original store listing.
Someone's lying. Someone's missing. Their phone knows the truth.
Traced is an immersive true crime investigation game where every case starts the same way: the case file hands you the evidence phone and you dig through it. Read their messages, browse their photo gallery, scroll their social apps, open their notes, calendar and deleted files. Nothing is random. Every contact, every photo, every lie hides a clue. Connect them, answer the investigator's questions and close the case.
Each Traced episode is a complete cold case: a disappearance, a murder, a double life. You play the detective from inside the victim's or the suspect's phone, exactly the way a real investigator would.
