Someone's lying. Someone's missing. Their phone knows the truth. Traced is an immersive true crime investigation game where every case starts the same way: the case file hands you the evidence phone and you dig through it.

Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be.

Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
