A missing person case straight out of 1995. Search the early internet, dig through emails and dusty floppy discs, and uncover the secrets behind the disappearance of Victoria Mason.
The year is 1995. A young heiress named Victoria Mason has gone missing.As the newest hire at the Gumshoe Detective Agency, you’ve been assigned your very first case, and all you’ve got to go on is a clunky desktop, a dial-up connection, and a handful of suspicious files.
You'll dig through emails, websites, chat logs, and glitchy software in search of the truth. With every document you decrypt, every clue you drag into your evidence folder, the story will shift. And what started as a simple disappearance will soon unravel into something much, much bigger.
Who took Victoria Mason? And what were they trying to hide?
You’ll need to think like a detective. Or at least… click like one.
