Description
About This Game
In 1946, a mysterious fire sweeps through the Chen family's ancestral hall, destroying most of the genealogy passed down through generations. Only scattered fragments remain. With family members living far apart and little contact between its branches, rebuilding the family tree will be no simple task.
Your law firm receives an anonymous phone call. The caller offers a generous fee to reconstruct the Chen family tree.
But what secrets lie behind this commission?

Finishing a document does not always mean you are finished with it. A later discovery may change the meaning of a sentence you have already read.
Collect documents, record questions, and work at your own pace as you test theories and revise your conclusions.
