About the game

The official record lies: a front, a pen name, a studio figurehead, a borrowed name, and a murder verdict a county weekly has treated as settled since 1983. You’re the researcher who sets it straight.

Armed with a period search engine and a desk full of webpages, Usenet posts, zines, liner notes, letters, court papers and clippings, you work an anthology of self-contained cases. Read first. Then correct the record, one proven entry at a time.

The early cases hand you a master credit sheet in three parts: who was credited, what really happened, and who really did the work. The fourth case is longer, and different. A county weekly is preparing five pages on a fifteen-year-old murder conviction, and every line must stand on a document. You file the lines. The paper sets them.

No twitch. No fail state. Just documents, photographs and deduction.
