A missing-person story or a reopened file?
An Elmwood Trail’s official listing introduces an investigation into the disappearance of Zoey Leonard in Riverstone. Its missing-person premise gives the player a particular person to find. Somatry begins with deaths that happened before the investigation starts and asks you to explain them through preserved records.
Follow a story through evidence
Somatry’s fifty-case base collection crosses Coldmere, Ashport and Palewater. A conspiracy connects the files, but the work at your desk remains concrete: read the sources, flag useful details and produce a report. The public case directory offers opening premises without publishing solutions.
If an interview and a message disagree, first work out what each speaker could actually know. A dramatic contradiction can invite investigation without identifying a killer. The satisfaction comes from connecting the account to evidence for the method, motive and moment as well.
Where to start after Elmwood
Try the complete first Somatry case to see whether this report-based structure is the next mystery you want. If you prefer to inspect the mechanics first, the website has a small independent demo and a spoiler-free how-to-play guide.
The released Coldmere Stories DLC extends the setting to all nine county cities in version 1.1. Start with the base game’s free first file, then consult the in-app collection descriptions when choosing what to play next.
