Nobody went looking for her. I did.

Her house, one room at a time, and the papers nobody would read.

entry one — the record

One winter she was gone, and the parish closed the entry.

The house has not been opened since, and everything in it is still where it was put down. The doors answer to keys that turn up somewhere else. The papers answer to nobody.

You search it one room at a time, and what you carry out of each room is what opens the next.

Her study — the room he kept for himself. It opens to me now.
Chapter I

Point and tap through the rooms. Take what you find. Read what was written down, and then read what was written down instead. No account and no sign-in to play: your progress stays on your own device, and nothing about the story reaches us.

Chapter I — The Bedroom

"I told myself I would never come back. Yet here I am, inside her door."

entry two — what you do

Search

Every room is searched by hand. Tap whatever looks out of place — in that house, most of it is.

Carry

Nothing is fetched from a menu. What opens the next room came out of the last one, and it is already in your hand.

Read

The papers are not summarised. Each is set out in full, in the hand it was written in, and you decide what it means.

entry three — the evidence

6 papers found in the house

There are things in that house with writing on them. Each can be read in full, in the hand that wrote it — once you have found it.

No. 04 was struck from the register in a different hand, and the page it was struck on is still in the file.
