## Description

Chronicles of Crime digital companion brings the board game to your browser as a Chrome extension. It uses the same physical components—a board with location, character, and item cards—and adds digital depth by scanning QR codes (Scan&Play) to unlock clues and events as you investigate.

Launch scenarios, pursue clues, and uncover the killer with friends. The app includes a mobile VR experience: use the provided VR glasses and your phone to explore a virtual world and search for clues. Each session runs roughly 60–90 minutes, and updates add new, original scenarios that extend the larger mystery without needing extra physical components.

## Review summary

Chronicles of Crime provides a fun, social mystery experience ideal for group play, with appealing Noir expansion potential. However, recurring issues harm usability: VR mode bugs, inconsistent camera permissions, limited content with pricey DLC, and unreliable card/QR scanning. Addressing stability, expanding content, and improving scanning/camera handling would significantly improve the experience.

### Pros

- Fun, engaging murder mystery with clue-solving.
- Great for group play with friends or family.
- Expansion content (Noir) is well-received and opens up future content with community-made scenarios.

### Cons

- VR mode frequently buggy or unplayable due to spinning/jittery graphics.
- Camera permissions are inconsistent or not properly requested on some devices/versions.
- Limited overall content (few scenarios) and DLCs are costly for limited replay value.
- Card/QR scanning reliability is unreliable and can fail to read.
