About This Demo

In 1990, a body was discovered in the sleepy town of Bear Falls, North Dakota. The identity, how they got there, and what happened - all a mystery.

Using your department-issued computer, look through the evidence they’ve collected - from interrogation transcripts to receipts to diary entries - and piece together the story of the victim’s life…and their death.

Good luck, Detective.
