Stars

An in-game pop-up instructing the player to earn stars.

Stars are an integral element in Criminal Case. Without stars, the player cannot advance any further in the game's storyline.

The star icon

A star icon is generally located at the top right corner of the case screen. It is, as obvious, represented by an icon of a star accompanied by a specific number to display the current amount of stars in hand – which makes this icon useful for the player.

Usage

Stars are needed to:

• Examine evidence or clues.
• Interrogate suspects and quasi-suspects.
• Arrest the killer (except in The Death of Rosa Wolf).

Sometimes, they are needed to:

• Advance in-between chapters.
• Advance in-between cases.

If the player chooses, they can:

• Get all stars for gold medals used to unlock Police Pet Shops.
• Trade at the end of each case:
  • 1 star for 20 energy
  • 2 stars for 10,000 coins
  • 3 stars for one Sticker Pack

Obtaining stars

The player can earn a star each time they reach a certain amount of points after successfully solving a scene. Please note that each crime scene investigation requires 20 energy.

Notes

• Stars cannot be transferred from one case to another.
• If the player arrests the wrong killer, they lose a star.
