About this Project

Ricochet Hollow Cold Case Files is an interactive fictional cold case archive told entirely through documents.

Reports.
Interviews.
Dispatch logs.
Evidence inventories.
News clippings.

There is no narrator guiding you.
There is no final chapter explaining what happened.

Instead, this is a document-based mystery presented as an investigative record. Every post adds to the file. Every detail matters.

The case is solvable.

Nothing is withheld beyond what the documents themselves contain. The truth is not summarized or revealed outright, but it can be uncovered by careful readers willing to follow patterns, contradictions, and omissions over time.

This is a serialized mystery designed to be pieced together. You may begin anywhere, though a suggested reading order is available. Earlier records often gain new meaning later. Rereading is part of the experience.

New materials are released as they become available.

If you are looking for an immersive crime story you can solve, the record is open.

Ricochet Hollow, Ricochet County, and all cases, individuals, institutions, and documents associated with them are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real places, people, or events is coincidental.
