About the game
Two murders plague the small town of Pauvigny, France. On a dark night in 1961, Leonce Junot's body was found after a jewelry heist gone awry and the suspect, Henri Valentine, was arrested and convicted. Two decades later, Henri Valentine was released only to have his body discovered in the morning at the same railway he was apprehended. The whispers around town confuse the situation, and only you can solve both cold cases and figure out who the true murderer is. Packed with realistic documents pertaining to the crime, Cold Case: End of the Line challenges you to use your best investigative skills to crack the case. The authorities couldn't figure it out, but can you?
