Some mysteries are solved in the field. This one is solved at the desk. Ashes of Holloway Bay, a released detective game from sole trader Billy Cross at Cold Case Inc, is “a chilling, interactive cold-case investigation” — a house fire in a small bay town, told entirely through the paperwork it left behind.
Review, Decrypt, Compare, Report
The store page lays out the work: review crime scene photos, decrypt restricted hard drives, compare evidence from police files and interviews, and — when you’re ready — deliver your final report naming what you think happened. It’s the true-crime file format as gameplay loop: less whodunit sprint, more methodical cold-case grind. The game is available both on Steam and as an online case file for the web-first crowd.
One Developer, One Case
Made by a sole trader at Cold Case Inc, with a press kit offering spoiler-free coverage guidance for reviewers — a studio that thinks like an investigator already.
