STRINGS ATTACHED

In a world of shadows and tangled truths, every clue is a thread waiting to be pulled. Set in 1980s Saudi Arabia, you take the role of detective Shamaan, piecing together murders that bridge past and present.

Open dusty case files, travel back in time with a single click, and connect scattered words to complete the Missing Thread, the key to solving each case. From crowded flashback scenes to puzzles locked in the evidence room, the truth is always hidden in plain sight.

How It Plays:

  • Search through case files for suspects, evidence, and witness statements

  • Jump between past and present to uncover new clues

  • Collect words in your inventory and drag them into the Missing Thread to solve mysteries

  • A relaxed detective experience: no fail states, no game overs, just deduction

Controls:

  • Mouse – Explore, collect, and connect clues

  • Spacebar – Switch between past and present

  • Drag & Drop – Fill out the Missing Thread
