You also need to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes by pointing out contradictions between the clues and utilizing your powers of deduction to solve each case.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240430-30317-002.jpg\" alt=\"Staffer Case A Supernatural Mystery Adventure\" class=\"wp-image-30327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240430-30317-002.jpg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240430-30317-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240430-30317-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/20240430-30317-002-600x337.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to its global release on April 30, Staffer Case was available in Early Access but only in Korean.
