Chronicles of Crime is cooperative game of crime investigation, mixing VR experience and board gaming.
With the same physical components (board, locations, characters and items), players will be able to play plenty of different scenarii and solve as many different crime stories.
They will start the app, choose the scenario they want to play, and follow the story. The goal being to catch the killer of the case they have been given in the shortest short time possible.
Using the Scan&Play technology, each component (locations, characters, items, etc.) has a unique QR code, which, depending on the scenario selected, will activate and trigger different clues and stories. That means players will be able to get new stories way after the game is release simply by downloading the app's updates, without any shipping of new physical components involved.
The VR experience only requires a mobile phone. Players simply put the VR glasses provided inside the game onto their mobile device, and put the VR glasses on their nose, holding their mobile device in front of their eyes, to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world.
Each session last around 1h to 1h30 minutes and many scenarios are connected to each others in order to tell a much bigger story.

A Masterpiece
My favourite game of the last decade. Immersive, excellent writing and branch storylines. Highly recommended if you enjoy escape rooms or Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective.

It's fun but...
Great game. Great mechanisms. Great way to "team build" and have everyone interact together. But... Having one "lead investigator" who has the device while having to read everythin...view moreg to everyone else can get exhausting. To work around this, I connected my phone to a TV or projector (at work in one of the meeting rooms) so that everyone can see. Not sure if this constitutes cheating but I find it to be a reasonable work around so that everyone can remain on the same page. Like I said, it's fun but it can be quite mentally exhausting. view less

Meh
Game is very overrated from what reviewers say of it. I wouldn't even call it a game if I'm being honest. It does give some interesting moments but playing with more than 2 is a chore.

Great experience; I like it best with two. Voice actors would put it over the top hope they get some.
