    <summary type="text">To give you some context on the project. I&#39;m a solo founder and I use AI heavily in my work. The idea came from wanting players to discover cities. Each city has its own history, so every case is set in a real city with real public places.…</summary>

&lt;h2&gt;Uncracked&lt;br /&gt;
City&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cases nobody has cracked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A detective game set in real cities. Search the places, question the suspects, catch the lie, and write the report nobody has managed to write yet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coming to the App Store&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uncrackedcity.app&quot;&gt;Get it on Google Play&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Halloween case&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Thirteenth Step&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Salem, 2025&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Salem, the morning after Halloween. Meg Ashcombe, the last of her family, lies at the foot of her grand staircase, one slipper on the thirteenth step, the front door bolted from inside. Half the town says the Grey Captain finally took her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Four suspects. One of them lies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nobody has solved it yet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_y0d9R1Z0s&quot;&gt;Watch the teaser on YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;How you investigate&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;01&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Search the places&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every case happens in a real neighbourhood. Find the clues, open what is locked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;02&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Question the suspects&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ask your own questions, typed or spoken, in any of the game&#39;s six languages. Each suspect answers in their own voice. Some of them lie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;03&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Catch the lie, then report&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hold a clue against a statement. When the lie cracks, write your report: three tries, not one more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;A world tour to learn. Then the real cases.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Marrakech, Tokyo, Sydney: five training levels, each harder than the last. Then come the real cases, harder still. Each one shows how many investigators have solved it. For most of them: nobody. Not yet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nobody has solved it yet&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;One city, one secret&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first time you open a case, you fly there across the map. Solve it, and its city is stamped in your passport.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Help and contact&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A question, a bug, a suspect&#39;s line that goes wrong: write to us. In the game, “Flag” under a line sends it to us directly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;mailto:hello@uncracked.city&quot;&gt;hello@uncracked.city&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Your data&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The game is played without an account. To erase everything: Settings → “Start over” → “Erase everything”. Without the phone that created your player, write to us.&lt;/p&gt;
