Officials called it an accident. The case was closed. Only true crime podcaster Sofia Mendez keeps investigating. Her findings point back to the name Redfir Hills wants to forget: The Bluepine Killer.

The people closest to her just added you to the chat. They are scared, divided, and starting to accuse each other. They need someone outside Redfir Hills to hack through what happened before it is too late.

The case unfolds entirely on your phone. Some conversations are not meant for you, but with the right tools and a bit of skill, you can recover deleted files, unlock private messages, and find evidence others tried to hide.

Accuse the wrong person and they may turn on you. Push too hard and they may stop talking. Protect one person's secret and another may lose trust. Every conversation changes how you solve this case.
The people start as names on your phone. Then they ask for help, share their thoughts and feelings, become friends. But some might also test you. And while relationships become personal, you should never forget about the case.

Redfir Hills is a small mountain town with a busy main street, a large lake, and a long history of people keeping quiet. The town welcomes visitors, but residents usually avoid questions about things they rather want to ignore.

Two hundred years ago, a woman was accused of witchcraft in Redfir Hills. Every fall, the town turns that story into Halloweek, a week-long festival for visitors. For locals, the legend is tied to old grudges, family names, and dark places. As you investigate, that history starts to explain why the town is so experienced in burying its secrets.
