About This Game

The Story

On October 27th, 2023 the podcast Spooky Sacramento hosted a live episode and tour of the Sacramento area’s infamous haunted street, Dyer Lane. Hosts, Andi Sampson and Dan Lee, and their audience disappeared that night while touring the street. Dozens of calls were received by local authorities about missing people. At the scene authorities recovered a busted up hard drive and enlisted Spooky Sacramento’s podcast production company to recover and repair the audio files on the dying hard drive. Authorities are hopeful that the audio on the hard drive can help them locate the podcast hosts and their audience.

Fix the Audio

As a podcast editor/producer at Sylvan Corners Studios, your job is to scour the audio files to piece together what happened on the day of the disappearance.

To make them listenable again, you’ll need to adjust the volume, compression, filter out noise, or shift the pitch. However, since the hard drive is dying, you’ll only 20 minutes to recover as much of the audio as possible.

Uncover the Mystery

Once audio is repaired, you’ll discover bits and pieces of what happened that night on Dyer Lane. And hopefully answer they question: Where did they go?
