Trivia
- Pacific Bay is primarily based on California (Los Angeles in particular).
- Unlike Grimsborough's map, the Pacific Bay map features specific hints near a case marker, which hints the player about the murder detail of the case. (Note that the player must zoom in the map to notice these specific hints.)
- For example, when you zoom in on the Case #2 marker, you can spot a car crash right beside it, which is intended to simulate the murder cause featured in that case.
- Criminal Case: Pacific Bay, a standalone app for the Pacific Bay portion of the game, was officially released worldwide on February 15, 2017.
