About This Game

Stella Reed comes to Blackwood for a few days. She needs an archive, a couple of interviews, and a story about four high school students who drove out to Lake Blackmere in August 1988 to watch a meteor shower and never came back.

In the basement of the police station, she is handed the case box. The last person to take it out was the director of the town museum. A few days later, she was found at the foot of the museum stairs. Samantha, the director’s daughter, agrees to meet. She is in a hurry to get to a night job she doesn’t talk about, and she promises to look through her mother’s papers. Then she tells Stella to stay away from the lakes and stops answering her phone.

By then Stella has a black card in her pocket with a silver letter S on it: an invitation to Shadow, a members-only club. It came from the owner, David Rayne. Every door in Blackwood opens for him, and he is happy to open them for her. His foundation is restoring that same museum, and he has plans for the Blackmere shore. He calls the lake just water. Detective Victor Cole would say the same. He trusts facts and does not trust journalists. But he is the one who let Stella into the archive, and more and more often the two of them end up in the same car on the road to the lake.

Then the town finds its first body. Next to it someone has drawn a sign: an open circle and a wavy line. Anyone who has studied the history of Blackmere knows it.

The plant, city hall, and the foundation all want the same shore, and everyone has a reason to keep quiet. A woman who makes jewelry from lake stones tells Stella that people would kill for this lake the way they would kill for a god. Stella writes it down as a quote for her article..

The deeper Stella is drawn into this story, the clearer it becomes: in Blackwood, the truth does not lie on the surface. It seeps through wet asphalt, old clippings, other people’s silences, and the fog over the water.
