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.
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 use stars to:
- Get gold medals for cases to unlock Police Pet Shops. (One must get all stars in the case to get a gold medal.)
- Trade for energy items after completing the Additional Investigation of a case.
How to Get 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; however, an all-starred crime scene (a crime scene in which the player has earned all five stars) requires 5 energy only.
Notes
- Stars cannot be transferred from one case to another.
- If the player arrests the wrong killer, they lose a star.
