Aural Alibi: Detective Game

Update guide

Version 2.0 (build 4)

This guide covers version 2.0. The current website catalog lists version 2.0. Check the App Store for availability on your device; the features below require version 2.0 or later.

Investigate fictional mysteries by reconstructing sound sources, timelines and witness contradictions. Aural Alibi combines a room map, recorded case evidence and stylized audio in a complete offline detective game.

RECONSTRUCT THE CASE • Twelve campaign cases, plus sandbox, daily and weekly reconstructions • Eighteen sound cues and twelve background soundscapes • Recorded room and time observations you can compare with witness statements • A native room picker and direct timestamp entry alongside the interactive map • Undo and redo for reconstruction changes; used hints still count

KEEP YOUR INVESTIGATION • File each attempt once and keep its detailed dossier in Records • Compare your placements, times and witness decisions with the case record • Export a complete text debrief to Files • Retry a case as a new attempt while retaining previous results • Export and restore JSON backups containing progress, dossiers and score history

AUDIO IS OPTIONAL • Read the scripted evidence and sound descriptions without headphones • View normalized peaks decoded from each bundled audio clip • Use Dynamic Type, accessible controls and reduced map motion • Haptic cues are available on supported devices

EVERYTHING INCLUDED One purchase. No subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads, tracking, microphone access or required login. Core play works offline. Game Center is optional. Private iCloud progress snapshots are optional; full Files backups also include historical score rows.

Stories, interface and evidence are in English. Room audibility and source locations are fictional game rules, not physical or forensic measurements. Soundscape playback compresses the gaps between clips; recorded evidence supplies the case timeline.

Backups support up to 20 MB, 500 detailed dossiers and 5,000 score records. Restoring asks before replacing local progress. Older score records retain their original scoring rules.
