What to study

A search result here is not a list of titles, it is four faces. The MURDER query returns a single row of video thumbnails, each a different interview session (red top, blue top, two in white) with its room-and-date overlay still burned into the footage and a yellow eye icon stamped over the corner to mark it as watchable evidence. The interface reports the haul in one flat line, '4 entries found', and leaves the session pane underneath pointedly empty: nothing is evidence until you choose to store it. Because the thumbnails carry costume and posture instead of text, the player reads chronology and mood from the pictures themselves, the database trusts stills, not metadata, to sell which clip to open first. Frame at about 0:39 in the Release Trailer (Steam), manually extracted at 39.0s: the scene-change pass emitted no frame for this screen.
