Estate Papers of Lionel Reeves Cavanaugh
(1931 – 2023)  •  Cataloged for Processing
You are a graduate student at Aldenmere University, hired to catalog the estate papers of Lionel Cavanaugh — collector, philanthropist, patron of the arts. His papers were left to the university with one condition: once cataloged, they are to be sealed for ten years.

You are three days in. Names keep recurring in places they shouldn’t. Dates don’t line up. Something in this archive is very wrong — and someone went to great lengths to make sure no one would notice.
Read everything. Trust nothing.

How to Play

Read

The entire archive — 28 documents — is open from the start. Letters, records, articles, personal writings. Read them in any order. Not everything is relevant, but everything is here for a reason.

Clip

Click any sentence to add it to your evidence board. Click again to remove it. Clip whatever catches your eye — the board is yours to organize.

Tag

Use the five color tags to categorize evidence however you like.

Notes

Use the notepad to record your theories. It saves automatically.

File

When you think you know what happened, file your assessment. You will fill in the blanks in a report — every answer typed, no hints, no multiple choice. Get something wrong and you will need to go back and look harder.

No timer. No wrong path. No game over.
