About This Game

She went off the air and off the record.

It's 2008. A college radio DJ who goes by the handle starlingdive has vanished. The conduct office calls it a voluntary withdrawal. You are the archive temp assigned to close the file by Friday.

Search a message board and sealed conduct files. Work out the hierarchy to find out why students keep disappearing.

Read what people reveal about themselves when they think they’re anonymous. Compare their posts with photographs and official records to identify each person and their role in the scene.

Three connected cases

Begin inside a college archive. Become a private investigator hired by a missing singer’s family. Then examine an insider’s evidence as a federal investigator, comparing coded communications with heavily redacted records.

Each case introduces a new cast and builds on the evidence from earlier investigations. Together, the three cases reveal what happened to Starlingdive and bring her story to its conclusion.

Originally released as a free browser game, Where is Starlingdive comes to Steam with a remastered first case featuring new artwork and a redesigned interface, plus two entirely new cases.
