From 2020 to 2024 there was a series of murders along the I-90 between Cleveland and Louisville. Over the course of 3 years, police investigated 28 homicides which all conformed to the pattern. Each victim was staying in a hotel or motel close to the I-90, and was killed with a single bullet from a Colt 45 shortly after retiring to their room. A feather, later determined to be from a dream catcher, was left at each murder scene.

Can you solve the case and catch the serial killer?

There are a variety of puzzles in the box as well as narrative, combining the best of both worlds to create an exceptional self contained game. You need to engage with both the puzzles and the narrative in order to eliminate suspects as you progress through the case.

This game does not require access to a computer and is designed for solo play, or for a small group.
