You are the top agent for undercover operations for the FBI, so it's no surprise that one morning you're called out of bed to infiltrate the maximum security Brooklyn prison incognito. Your task: Find out who killed Liam O'Reilly. The member of a notorious New York gang was willing to work with the cops and had to pay for it with his life — but who is behind the murder? To find out, you go deep into the abyss of the American prison system. To play Masters of Crime: Incognito, you'll use traditional apps like Google Maps or Wikipedia to gather information, while also collecting evidence, investigating crime scenes, and interrogating suspects. Emails, detailed web pages, and cellphone calls are also part of the immersive gaming experience. In more detail, Incognito is a co-operative deductive murder mystery game in which players must solve puzzles, follow clues, and make decisions to solve a case. They do this using the included deck of cards, twelve hidden realistic clue documents, and the Internet. Through a choose-your-own-adventure mechanism, players make decisions that influence the course of the game and lead to solving the case in the end. One by one, they enter different realistically-designed locations and encounter the various suspects, then they choose from three different ways to deal with the situation and receive points based on their decisions. Complex puzzles and escape room elements must be solved in order to progress further in the case.
