Della Hart, 17. Missing since the storm.

Her phone came out of the water today.

Find out what happened. Then write me.

Don’t waste the battery.

– M.

THE CASEThe whole town says she went into the water.

Marge works the night desk at the Pale Fork sheriff’s office. She was on it in 2008 too, the night Della’s mother went into the water. She hands you Della’s phone. The charger won’t take.

Everything you need is on it: deleted threads, a whispered voice memo, a voicemail from her dad, a location history of the storm night, a locked note. And 47 missed calls, one of them from someone who knows you have it.

HOW IT PLAYSNo dialogue trees. Just her phone.

01

Read her phone

Messages, photos, Find My, the town directory. Every app works the way you’d expect, and some of what’s in them is lying to you.

02

Collect evidence

Tap a name, a time or a place to pocket it as a clue: 1:52 the turnout. You can only accuse what you can prove.

03

Tell Marge

Fill in what happened and send it. She’ll only tell you how many blanks are wrong, and every wrong answer costs 1% battery.
