Minigame

A promotional game made to pre-register for the Identity V game. It is referred to as "Minigame" on a tab on the website.

## Storyline

### OPENING

Nightmare. It was a long and endless nightmare.

Drenched in sweat, I was running for my life through a silent forest.

I took a deep breath when I finally thought I was awake.

But when I looked around, I noticed something horrible:

Nightmare. It was still a nightmare...

## Optional Interactions

### Desk

The missing kids, the missing elder,

the missing cheating husband, the missing shorthair cat, the missing teddy bear......

Good! I think it's time to send myself a client letter.

I must have slept here last night.......

swear to god by my neck I never drink too much anymore.......

### Box full of Files

The table is littered with files and letters,

but most of them are lumped together, and several books of law seem to have never been read.

### The Books

The bookshelf is full of forensic science, geography, astronomy,

religious studies, engineering, literary works, and various legal documents.

However, only the detective novels have the least dust,

and were taken from their original positions.

I don't have time to go through each book.

### Couch

It seems like I haven't slept here.

If the key was here, it must take thousands of years to find.

### Evidence Board

I should have left some clues for myself.
