Alone With: Solve the Murder

Every case gives you the floor plan of a place and the suspects' statements. Each statement only says where someone stood: "She was next to the fireplace." "She was south of Editha." "He was petting a dog." You place every suspect on a square. Nobody shares a row or column with anyone else, nobody stands on an occupied square, and the rest follows from the statements. In the end exactly one arrangement remains, and one suspect stands alone with the victim in a room. That is the culprit. Every case has exactly one solution, and you can reach it without guessing. For every step there is a card you can point at. If you are stuck, you are missing a deduction, not luck. The Castle file is completely free, all 80 cases of it. After that come the Wild West, the Pirate Ship and the Flower Village, each world with its own 80 cases as a single purchase, Season 1 also as a bundle. Eight bonus cases can be played beforehand. The boards grow from six by six squares with five suspects to ten by ten with nine. While solving, you get a pencil for notes, crosses that fill in as you place people, a ghost mode for uncertain candidates, and hints. The app shows ads: a banner below the board and optional videos for hints and helpers. Any purchase removes the banner. There is no subscription and no energy mechanic. The app needs no account and no internet connection, purchased content also lives on the device. Languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese.
