With stunning visuals and immersive environments, every location comes to life, inviting you to explore, discover, and unravel the secrets that lie within.

Solve Capers
Sharpen your detective skills as you gather clues, decipher codes, and tackle a variety of mini-games to outsmart VILE's most elusive operatives. But beware—time is of the essence! Stay sharp, think fast, and act decisively to crack safes, hack into systems, and master the art of lockpicking before it’s too late.

Capture VILE
Gather clues and compare them to dossiers to uncover VILE operatives. Is their hair black, red, or do they have blue eyes? Use your deductive skills to narrow down suspects. But remember, a warrant is essential before making any arrests! Will you crack the case and bring VILE to justice, or will they evade capture?
