Noir audit mystery
Ella Vance enters an inquiry where the official story is already settled. The evidence may not be.
View on App Store
Ella Vance is invited to investigate as an independent external specialist. People have signed off on an account of events, but the records do not settle every question. You lead her inquiry, with Graham Holt available for advice.
Examine receipts, interviews, system logs, approvals, and closure files. Trace who changed a record, compare versions, and rebuild the chain of evidence before deciding what the proof can honestly support.
The danger may lie in a clean receipt, a missing signer, or a calm sentence already accepted as official. Investigation puzzles and the Audit Lens ask you to find contradictions and test claims, while chapter replays let you compare outcomes and pursue stronger findings.
The two-chapter opening investigation is free. A single non-consumable purchase unlocks the complete game, with later chapters opening in story order. Offline play is available after purchase verification. No ads, account, or subscription is required.

People behind the approvals
Ella leads this investigation as an independent external specialist. Graham advises her; neither is part of VANTA's internal staff. Around them are people whose responsibilities, loyalties, and choice of words shape the record.
Independent investigator
A digital-forensic auditor brought in from outside, Ella follows a claim back to the records that can support it. She leads the inquiry and owns its conclusions. Her strength is not a dramatic accusation, but a precise account of where a chain breaks and what remains unproved.
Independent adviser
An assurance and compliance specialist, Graham brings practical skepticism and a long-established trust with Ella. He tests the difference between an action and the authority behind it. His advice sharpens her questions without taking the investigation, or its decisions, out of her hands.
VANTA contact
McNeill invites Ella into an institution already under pressure. He needs a finding that can travel through its review channels without losing its basis. His position makes urgency real: language that keeps an operation moving may also make responsibility harder to name.
Reception and intake
Rhea works at the reception and intake boundary, where names, purposes, and signatures must be recorded correctly. She and Ella share a school connection. Her careful notes bring the people at that boundary into view when the official account begins to sound impersonal.
Witness and older handoffs
Sera pays attention to who stayed in a room and who was left out of its record. Her knowledge of older handoffs puts human witnesses beside newer forms. When she speaks through Munza, listening carefully matters as much as finding the next document.
Translator
Munza works between a person's statement and the language an institution will accept. He knows that a safer translation can keep a meeting open while changing what a reader understands. He offers another perspective, not an answer that Ella can accept without testing.
