Notable events of Criminal Case
Season 1
- Main article: Grimsborough
A new beginning
The player made their debut in solving a murder at the entrance of town. They were introduced to the rest of the team, the last of them being Ramirez, who met the player while informing that a victim's mother was ready for questioning. Partnered with Jones, the team would arrest the department's detective Harry Landry for the murder of his partner Ed Dunkin.
After arresting Italian mobster Tony Marconi for Vipers gang leader Salvador Cordero's murder, Mayor Howard Johnson was impressed by the player's performance, thus promoting the team to the Financial Center. There, they arrested businessman Alden Greene for the murder of a journalist, in which Alden exposed General James Marsh as his accomplice, penetrating through the politics of the Mayor. Realizing the player's tenacity, the Mayor promoted the player to the Historical Center.
Unmasking a serial killer
After securing the annual Dog Pageant by arresting its participant Margaret Littlewood for poisoning the local dogs (with Jones being poisoned in the process), the Mayor moved the team to the University. There, the team would investigate a serial killer, "The Rorschach Reaper", who manipulated three people into murdering three other people. During the University Prom Ball, the prom queen Madison Springer's tiara was exploded, killing her. The team would unmask psychology student Tess Goodwin as the Rorschach Reaper – all orchestrated to manipulate Jones into killing the player. While hypnotized, Jones pointed his gun at the player, resulting in Ramirez hitting him and the player arresting her. As such, the Mayor promoted the team to Maple Heights.
On the other hand, Cathy (under the alias "The @rtist") started assisting the team in their investigations, much to Chief King's disapproval.
