Mechanics
The game has two main mechanics: Story and Puzzles.

In order to unlock parts of the story, you must clear puzzles and gain "Insight", which is represented by lightbulbs. If you have the necessary amount of "Insight", the magnifying glass will change from gray to red, and then you can read that part of the story. Depending on the story, 1 to 4 pieces of "Insight" may be neccesary.

The story is divided into Case Files. Once you have finished a Case, the next one will be unlocked.

By reading the story, you might find important clues and scenes which can be viewed from the Menu. Also, by proceeding with the story, you will be able to unlock sub-stories, that depict scenes that were not shown during the main scenario.

The puzzles are all classic Match 3 type: By aligning 3 or more pieces of the same kind together, you can clear these pieces. In order to clear a stage, you need to fulfill certain goals depending on each stage and under a given number of turns. If you fail to solve a puzzles, you lose one life. You can have a maximum of five lifes and, once one is lost, it will reappear in 30 minutes.

Once a staged is cleared, you gain 1 or 2 "Insight" and 50 or more coins. You can also gain coins as a reward for clearing a story, a substory, as Daily Roulette rewards, and searching for them in in-game locations. You can use coins to recover lifes, buy items and add turns.
