Your first case.
One step at a time.

01 / A fresh start

Choose the name. Write the story.

Create a free account with a username, email and password, then verify your email. Your character and progress follow you between desktop and mobile.

Moves power many actions. Cash pays for your next opportunity. Keep an eye on both as you explore.

02 / Learn by doing

Open The Crowned Ledger.

From your game home, follow the current story mission. The first receipt asks you to buy five portions of food. Claim its reward to reveal Mira’s clue and unlock Rowan’s lead at the docks. Later chapters introduce training, education and mining; optional chapters explore farming.

1. Claim your daily reward. Start from Home and collect the available reward.
2. Follow the active story objective. Its action link, cost and progress keep your next step clear. Finish and claim one mission before the next begins.
3. Use the tutorial checklist alongside it. It tracks real actions and rewards your first steps through the market, work, banking and training.
4. Pick up daily quests. A smaller daily goal keeps each visit focused. Review the assigned objective before spending moves.
5. Explore when you’re ready. Crimes, companies, factions and PvP are optional directions; casino bets and fighting aren’t required to finish the main investigation.

03 / Make a plan

Give your ambition an income.

A steady job is a useful foundation. Education opens new roles; training develops combat stats. As your balance grows, explore the systems that suit your play style.

• Jobs and companies: qualify for work, or eventually run a company and manage its costs.
• Market, trades and auctions: compare prices and quantities. Player trades have eligibility rules and a daily transfer allowance.
• Agriculture: buy land, check the crop’s requirements, and plan for watering and harvest.
• Houses and cars: build your score, but remember that ownership brings upkeep.

Don’t spend your last cash just because an upgrade is available. Leave room for food, bills and your next action.

04 / Better together

A reputation is built with people.

Talk in chat, add friends and explore factions. A crew gives you shared goals and a place in the wider competition.

• Train before you fight. Compare attack, defense and equipment, and read the eligibility message on your rival’s profile.
• Understand the risk. Crimes and combat can cost health, money or time. Success is never guaranteed.
• Work toward shared goals. Faction objectives and rankings give your group something to build together.

05 / The long game

A few decisions. Every visit.

The world advances every five minutes. Eligible moves and health regenerate, and the economy keeps running while you’re away. Extra moves from rewards are retained above the regeneration cap.

• Check your daily reward and quests.
• Review food, bills and the next thing you’re saving for.
• Use available moves on your current goal.
• Check in with your faction and return when you’re ready.

You set the pace. The goal is to build a character you want to come back to.
