AI Interrogation Custom Cases Update
How the Custom Cases drop changes practice for TrueTalk AI’s interrogation detectives.
The Custom Cases update is one of the most important quality-of-life beats for AI Interrogation. Instead of only clearing the six base stories and waiting on Daily Cases, you can author suspects, crimes, and evidence. This page is the update-facing summary; the full how-to lives in the Custom Cases guide.
What the update adds
| Addition | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Player-authored briefs | Train specific weaknesses on demand |
| Custom evidence hooks | Rehearse object or location ladders |
| Endless practice after base clears | Better retention between Daily rotations |
| Teaching tools | Help friends without spoiling base endings |
The terminal rules stay the same: solo play, ~10 tries, shutdown vs lies tone physics, confession win condition. Custom is a content multiplier, not a different genre.
Why this update pairs with the relaunch era
After rebuild and free-window chaos covered in relaunch notes, Custom Cases give players a reason to stay when they have finished the roster in all cases. You can rebuild Warehouse-Fire-like paths or Marcus-like object chains without waiting for patches.
Recommended practice plans unlocked by the update
- Object week — customs with hammer/stain/clock/dumpster energy; study confession guide.
- Location week — customs with multi-stop flight beats; study Case 005.
- Tone week — customs that punish early insults; study interrogation strategies.
- Daily sim week — write a brief, hide it, play cold with the question planner.
Design rules worth repeating
- Three evidence beats minimum
- One intentional red herring
- Clear confession condition
- No useless infinite lore
Priority thinking from the evidence priority tier list should guide what you put in the brief.
What did not change
- Still no verified promo codes (Codes Hub)
- Still no dedicated public scripts to recommend (Scripts Hub)
- Still solo-only
- Still need pressure checklist discipline mid-run

Content roadmap mindset
Custom Cases do not remove the need for Daily Cases adaptation. Daily still teaches cold reading. Custom teaches deliberate weakness drilling. Together with the base six, they form a complete practice ecosystem that did not exist when the experience was only a short roster.
If a future patch expands authoring tools further, return here and to the Custom Cases guide rather than inventing settings myths in comments. Until then, treat authoring as serious homework: three proofs, one red herring, one clear confession line, and a planner sitting beside the terminal. Players who skip the homework turn Custom into a joke generator and then wonder why Daily still feels impossible — the update rewards deliberate design, not random chaos briefs without usable evidence.

Custom Cases are the long-term meta after the base six. If you only replay Case 005 forever, you are leaving the update’s training power on the table — build the fire path yourself, then beat the official brief with calmer hands. Spend one evening designing, one evening clearing, and your Daily adaptation speed will jump without memorizing someone else’s spoiler script.
