Do Needles Dream of Electric Haystacks?
The CEO of Zakuya Corporation was assassinated in cold blood. You are Ghost, an investigative hacker for hire, and it's your job to scour their rival corporation's networks for evidence that proves they were behind it.
Sometimes windows can get randomly stuck halfway off-screen. If that happens, you can press "R" as an emergency to reset the positions of all the current open windows to the middle of the screen. I think this particularly happens on resolutions smaller that 1080p.

Investigate
Look through emails, employee records and transcripts of discussions and collect evidence to submit to the Corp Council, so that they can determine if Corpo Law was broken.Consolidate
Gather emails and employee files, and direct your mole to get recorded conversations with the leadership team. Use all this to form pairs of evidence documents that point towards a single conclusion.Accuse
Address the three criteria required by Corpo Law by assigning the correct evidence pairs, and when you're ready, submit the accusation to the Council of Corporations. But be quick! You only have 10 days to put together your case.Known bugs

PS the Main Menu button on the end screen seems to be broken
I couldn't figure out the second clue for the financing (I only got that one email), which made the last few days a little frustrating. I was sure the second clue must have been that one interview with the CFO, but it didn't confirm. Is there a solution posted somewhere?
@parkuhrmd We haven't posted a solution (but maybe we should!). But here's some help with that particular one so long:
* For anyone reading this that doesn't want spoilers, stop reading here! *
For the criteria that the company must have benefited financially, one of the pieces of evidence is indeed in the CFO conversation. In the conversation, the CFO talks about Zakuya's big clients. If there were some evidence that those clients were scooped up by Cybertek after the assassination, that may be of interest to the Council.
(Further hint: The second piece of evidence is not in an email. You'll find it on an employee record. [If there's an email that also proves the criteria, that's by mistake and our bad, haha])
Quite impressive amount of text too :laughing:
But now I'm invested. If I ever get my hands on a larger screen, I'll have to revisit it.
Not that easy to achieve for a Ludum game.
Will return to it later even if to finish the story.
If not the resolution problem, I wouldn't has to 'hack' my way through all windows during day)
Other than that, looks cool.
