## About No Case Should Remain Unsolved

No Case Should Remain Unsolved is a text-based detective puzzle from developer Somi. Players take on the role of retired Senior Inspector Jeon Gyeong, called back to examine a cold case twelve years after it went unsolved. The investigation unfolds through evidence collection, hidden-object searches, and environmental puzzle-solving, while dialogue choices and branching narrative paths determine which testimonies can be unlocked and what truth ultimately emerges. Reviewers highlight an emotional family mystery at the story's core, and players describe the experience as contemplative and melancholic, with an emotional weight that lingers after the case closes. The minimalist presentation keeps the narrative in focus. Multiple endings provide replay value. Priced at $6.99, the game is playable on Steam Deck and holds a 98% positive rating from 1560 Steam reviews.
