Someone has a story to hide.
A broadcast. A forgotten ledger. A film reel. Each file opens a different mystery. Connect the victims, reconstruct the timeline and build your accusation from the evidence.
The Midnight Frequency
Five voices vanished. One broadcast kept talking.
Five contributors to an oral-history project are dead. A box of tapes, numbered cards and an inaccurate studio clock could overturn the accepted timeline. Reconstruct an archivist’s final visit and uncover what the recordings were meant to reveal.
The Orchard Ledger
Five names crossed out. A sixth line left blank.
Five former harvest-cooperative members have died, leaving behind folded seed invoices and a bookkeeper’s cryptic note. A ledger from a closed packing shed may explain what brought them back—and who wanted its secrets buried.
The Last Picture Show
The reel was cut. The truth survived between frames.
Five film-restoration volunteers are dead. Their final project holds a missing sequence someone never wanted shown. Put three surviving frames in order, trace a private reel and decide which witness’s performance deserves a closer look.
The Lantern Trail
Every lantern marked a promise someone wanted buried.
Five volunteer inspectors raised concerns about a private evening festival. Now all five are dead. Brass lantern tags, an unused ticket cabin and a weathered route board may expose an impossible journey at the heart of a suspect’s story.
The Thirteenth Appointment
The clocks disagree. The appointment book does not.
Five estate appraisers received clock-face appointment cards before their deaths. The final card points beyond twelve. Decode the appointment index, compare three disagreeing clocks and locate the visitor hidden inside an ordinary afternoon schedule.
When the Storm Went Quiet
A voice answered the radio. Its owner was gone.
Five volunteers auditing a private disaster-relief fund have died during one storm season. A radio response seems to put a key suspect far away. Compare the transmissions, trace their source and decide whether the voice can be trusted.
