Terms of Use

These terms are the agreement between you and Webinstudio ("we") for using The Real Killer app (the "app"). By using the app, you agree to them.

• Effective date: November 4, 2026

1. What the app does

The Real Killer is a single-player mystery game. You play a reporter who visits crime scenes, tracks down the people involved, breaks their stories, and fills in the deduction board to name the culprit. In every case, the culprit can change from one playthrough to the next. The app has no way to meet or chat with other players.

• The first case comes with the app, so you can play it without an internet connection.
• Other cases are downloaded from our server. You need an internet connection to download them. Once downloaded, they're saved on your phone.

2. Age

The app deals with murder, so you must be at least 15 to use it. If you are under 19, get permission from a parent or guardian first. Where an app store or local law requires parental consent, you must also go through that process.

3. Your records and anonymous account

• There is no sign-up.
• Your case in progress and your Case Log (the endings you've seen) are saved only on that phone. If you uninstall the app or switch phones, they don't carry over.
• When you download or buy a case from our server, an anonymous account is created automatically for your phone. Cases you buy are linked to both this account and your store account.
• If you switch phones or reinstall the app, use the same store account and tap "Restore Purchases" on the Case List screen to unlock the cases you bought.
• Don't create accounts in bulk with automated tools, or modify the app to open cases you haven't bought or see the culprit ahead of time. If you do, we may block the account involved.

4. Content rights

• We own the cases, characters, artwork, text, and app design. Third-party works such as music and fonts belong to their authors (see the Credits screen and the open-source notices in the app).
• You may use this content to enjoy the game yourself.
• You're welcome to record and share your play. Don't publish or sell a case's full script, or the culprit and solution for each playthrough, because that spoils the investigation for everyone else.

5. Paid content

• The first case (Issue No. 1, "Pylon 2") is free to play all the way to the end. Later cases are bought one case at a time in the app. Bundles that unlock several cases at once may also be offered.
• What you can play for free and the prices are shown in the Case List and on the purchase screen in the app. We may expand what's free, for example by making an earlier case entirely free when a new case comes out. Cases you've already bought remain yours.
• Apple's App Store or Google Play handles payment, and their terms of sale also apply.
• A case you buy is linked to that store account. It unlocks after our server confirms the purchase with the store. If confirmation is delayed, the app checks again the next time you open it.
• You never have to buy the same case twice, and you can replay it with a different culprit as many times as you like.

Cancellations and refunds

• If you haven't opened a case you bought yet, you can cancel the purchase within 7 days of buying it.
• Once you download and open a case, delivery of the digital content has started, so your right to cancel is limited (Article 17⁠(2)⁠⁠(5) of Korea's Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce). The purchase screen tells you this before you buy.
• If the content is not as described or doesn't work properly, you can cancel within 3 months of receiving it, or within 30 days of finding out.
• Refunds go through the store you bought from: reportaproblem.apple.com for Apple, or your order history in Google Play. If the store can't resolve it, email contact@webinstudio.co.kr.
• Refunded cases are locked again.
• If a minor paid without a parent's or guardian's consent, the minor or the parent or guardian can ask to cancel the purchase.
• European Union, EEA, and UK: you normally have 14 days to withdraw from an online purchase. For digital content, that right ends once the download or unlock starts, if you agreed to immediate delivery and acknowledged losing the right at checkout. Your legal rights when content is faulty or not as described are not affected.
• Elsewhere, the consumer rights of the country where you live also apply.

6. Changes to the service

We may update the app, add new cases, or revise the text of cases already released. If you download a revised case, you may have to restart a playthrough that was in progress. During server maintenance or outages, you may be briefly unable to download or buy cases. If we have to end the service, we'll announce it in the app 30 days in advance. If cases you bought can no longer be used, we'll handle it as the law requires.

7. Liability

• We work to keep the app running smoothly, but we aren't responsible for losses caused by things outside our control, such as network failures, problems with your phone, or problems with the app stores.
• Your saved game and Case Log exist only on your phone and can't be recovered if you uninstall the app or lose your phone.
• All cases, characters, organizations, and places in the game are fictional and have no connection to real people, organizations, or events.
• Nothing in this section limits our liability for losses caused by our intent or gross negligence, or any liability the law doesn't allow us to limit.

8. Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea. If a dispute comes up, please email contact@webinstudio.co.kr first. If it has to go to court, it will be heard by the court with jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act of the Republic of Korea. However, if the consumer protection laws of the country where you live are more favorable to you, those laws take precedence.

9. Apple users

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) also applies. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, and is not a party to these terms.

10. Changes to these terms

We announce changes in the app and on this page 7 days before they take effect, or 30 days before for changes that are worse for you. If you don't accept the new terms, stop using the app and ask us to delete your data as described in section 7 of the Privacy Policy.
