A Case of Fraud is a non-linear, document-based investigation and deduction game.

Zoolingo is a seemingly successful startup company aiming to build a translation app that allows people to understand their pets. After landing millions in investor funding, the CEO has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Analyse documents from her home and office to find clues. Piece together the identities and roles of her family and employees, figure out who had motive and opportunity, and construct a case to unravel the fraudulent scheme.
