 Challenge: NAWCTSD — "Decisions, Decisions, Decisions All Around!

Twelve hours before launch, a confidential company demo leaks online. Four people were still in the building. All the early evidence points to the same person — and every piece of it is real. 

Red Herring is a fast, chess-themed investigation game. Evidence arrives as real chess pieces on the board,  pawns that promote to knights the deeper you dig. Every clue gets one decision: Dig In, add it to your Basket, or Discard it. Real chess pieces stand in for evidence, from pawn to knight promotion as you investigate deeper - Three decisions per clue: Dig In, Basket, or Discard — choose fast, choose once . 

A Suspect Board to lay out your case and freely revise your theory.  The conclusion is always yours - Multiple difficulty tiers: Easy gives you 3 clues and 5 minutes. Hell gives you 6 clues and 2. - An Accuse screen that scores not just whether you got it right — but how you got there True isn't the same as guilty. Can you tell the difference before the clock runs out? Built for Defense Tech Jam
