The developer announced its mobile release on November 5, 2026, for Android, iPhone and iPad.

Reconstruct a family, one clue at a time

Set in 1998, the story begins after a plane crash leaves an enormous inheritance to be divided according to an unusual will. Your task is to establish the family connections that determine who belongs on the tree. You investigate through a simulated early internet, comparing photographs, newspaper stories, books and other records. Names alone are not enough: occupations, dates and relationships help distinguish plausible guesses from deductions supported by evidence.

This is a good fit for players who enjoy reading closely and connecting scattered details. The mobile listing also includes the second mystery, Roottreemania. To keep the discovery intact, this overview avoids naming relatives or revealing solutions.
