The USB Stick Found in the Grass

Overview

It is difficult to classify The USB Stick Found in the Grass as a traditional game; it is more of a combination of a literary work and a forensic puzzle. If you liked A Normal Lost Phone or Her Story, you will probably enjoy this.

Gameplay

You are given a virtual representation of a USB stick found at a crime scene and play a police officer trying to solve a case with very limited information. You are not given any tools to do so, but you can use any tools you have on your computer.

Design Philosophy

The USB Stick Found in the Grass has no intrinsic limitations built into the game. Instead, it aims to be as close to the real thing as possible. The USB drive you investigate is indistinguishable from a real one, and the tools you use are real. If something looks like it can be checked, it can be checked. If something cannot be checked, it is simply the result of a technological limitation, not an intentional game design choice.

Your Mission

Find what the stick is all about, whether it is related to what happened, and if anything happened at all. Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.
