Minimal Crimes: Noir Riddles

Step into a minimalist noir world and solve story‑driven crime riddles using pure lateral thinking. Read each case, study the evidence and pick the only combination of clues that fits the truth.

In Minimal Crimes you are a detective on the cold case desk, facing short but intense mysteries where every word and every object can become a decisive keyword. Build your theory, test it on the board and prove that nothing gets past your mind.

Use the Deduction Board to select key Keywords from both the story and the evidence pool, then lock in your version of events. If even one element is wrong, the case stays unsolved and you will have to rethink your logic like a real investigator.

Interrogate suspects in Interrogation Mode, choosing the right questions to expose contradictions, unlock hidden keywords and reveal what witnesses are hiding. Each dialogue feels like a classic noir scene, where reading between the lines is as important as the words themselves. ​

Face high‑pressure Time Attack levels with a ticking countdown and heartbeat haptics that turn every decision into a race against the clock. Finish the case before time runs out or watch your carefully built theory fall apart at the last second.

If you get stuck, spend the coins you earn to access a progressive Hint System with “Classified Information”. Hints gently narrow down the possibilities without spoiling the final solution, so you keep the satisfaction of cracking the case on your own.

Create your own identity with an interactive Detective ID Card. Choose a detective name, add an agent photo from your library and turn each file into a personal case from your noir agency.

Climb a dynamic ranking from Rookie to Private Eye, Detective, Inspector and finally Mastermind as you solve more cases. Unlock unique service medals such as “First Blood”, “Sherlock”, “Richie Rich” and “Veteran” to show your style of play.

Maintain a Daily Streak to earn growing coin bonuses and “Daily Supply” rewards that keep you coming back. Smart in‑game notifications feel like messages from informants, calling you back to the city whenever a new lead appears.

Upgrade with the Premium Detective Pass to unlock Chapter 2 and the most challenging Cold Cases with a single, non‑subscription purchase powered by StoreKit 2. Non‑premium players see a themed paywall that clearly explains which investigations remain locked.

Protect your progress behind a “Restricted Area” screen with Face ID / Touch ID, easily managed from Settings. Your cases, profile and achievements stay safe even on a shared device.

Enjoy immersive audio and haptics tuned for noir tension: background music, sound effects, clicks and heartbeats managed by dedicated audio and haptic systems, with separate toggles so you can fine‑tune your experience.

Share your biggest victories with “Top Secret” case files generated as stylized images that look like internal documents from your department. Send them to friends or post them online to show that you cracked the mystery.

Minimal Crimes is built natively for iOS with SwiftUI, SwiftData and StoreKit 2, designed as a modern, single‑player detective experience for fans of logic puzzles, brain teasers and murder mystery games. If you love lateral thinking and noir storytelling, this is your new desk at the precinct.
