About This Game

Step into 2006. Emily Parker died after a late-night gathering by the lake. The police ruled it an accident, the case was closed, and life in town moved on.

But someone who knew her best refuses to accept the official story. Desperate and stonewalled by a community that doesn’t want to talk, they quietly reach out to a private investigator - and you, their young trainee, are thrust into your first real case.

With no access to official records and few people willing to speak, your investigation unfolds in an unusual place: the brand-new, wild, and wonderfully messy early internet. This is the dawn of social profiles, personal photo albums, archived local news, and digital breadcrumbs scattered across the web.

High school was already complicated. When teenagers started archiving their lives online, they often revealed far more than they intended.

Piece together what really happened. Search for the right phrases. Examine photos for hidden details. Follow the tangled web of friendships, rivalries, secrets, and lies that a tight-knit town tried to leave behind. Gather information about the people involved, uncover their connections, and build a clearer picture of the events leading up to Emily’s death.
