Game Instructions
Step into the role of an investigator in this two-part mystery, where you’ll examine evidence, analyze suspect statements, and follow the trail of clues as the story unfolds. When you’re ready, open the solution PDF to check your deductions and evaluate how well you uncovered the truth.

Plot
Lukas Hoffman, a 19-year-old Berlin resident, begins receiving unsettling notes. As the messages grow more threatening, he reports them to the authorities, and you take over the investigation. As the case progresses, the situation escalates, revealing that it is far more complex than it initially seemed.

This is our most challenging case yet, so for new players, we recommend starting with our other mysteries to get familiar with the investigative process before taking on this complex case.

The complexity rating of this case is no exaggeration! Unknown Identity tells a thought-provoking story about a talented eSports gamer receiving death threats. I loved that the mystery unraveled in a two-part story, allowing for a more complex narrative. The suspects were memorable—some even unlikeable—and there was a nice variety of evidence to examine. I didn't solve this one correctly, but I had a great time!

Such a brilliant story! I felt like a detective myself, trying to piece everything together. The attention to detail was amazing, and as someone in healthcare, I really appreciated how well-researched it all was. Totally kept me hooked!

I have reviewed multiple mysteries from Ink & Clues in the past and with every new mystery the better they get! Something I really enjoy about this mystery (and others from Ink & Clues) is that once you’ve read all the material, you’re not told where to start. That might sound odd, but so many mystery games are very linear – solve section A, answer some questions, move to section B. Here, you read everything first, get the final questions, then go back to build your own timeline, check alibis, addresses, motives, and make your own notes. It feels much more authentic - like a real detective case with paperwork sprawled across the desk and scribbled pages. That’s what makes these stand out! I really enjoyed the complexity of this game. I did find the case took much longer than the 1.5-2.0 hrs it noted, but this could be because I played solo.

Unknown Identity offers another compelling mystery, this time with some great twists and an extra tough challenge for seasoned detectives.

Unknown Identity took me about 1 hour and 40 minutes to play and I’d say it’s the most difficult game. I loved going through the comment threads and chat logs. I had a great time playing it, and it was a very fun challenge!
@het_spelletjeskabinet
The mystery is well-crafted, and it’s really fun to read through everything and build your own idea of the suspects and their connections to the victim. It was definitely a bit more challenging than the first game (A Lethal Fix), but still very doable. I had a great time playing it!
