- Over 5,000 suspects, 400 witness interviews, and 200 streets to investigate
- Progressive hint system that teaches you commands as you go
- Built-in notebook to track your findings
- Command history and tab autocompletion

Based on the open-source Command Line Murders project, reimagined as a polished mobile experience.
