The Somatry world archive
Coldmere County
Nine cities. Forty-four districts. Fifty landmarks. Follow the written traces of a fictional county, from the three cities of the base game to the wider setting of Coldmere Stories.
A county made of unfinished stories
Every place leaves
something in writing.
A note at a harbor office. A correction on a map. A message waiting in a room whose guest has already left. Read original, spoiler-free world fiction and find the places behind Somatry.
The base game / 50 cases
Three cities. One investigation.
The base game has one in-app purchase, Coldmere County, which gives access to the complete 50-case collection across Coldmere, Ashport and Palewater. Case 1 is free; the purchase unlocks the remaining 49 cases.
Coldmere Stories / Coming soon
The rest of the county is waiting.
The first announced expansion will feature all nine cities: the three above and the six below. These pages introduce the wider setting through original website lore. A DLC release date, case count and purchase details have not been announced.
Vigil Bay
The light returns. The answer does not.

Original world fiction published by Somatry. These location stories expand the setting for readers; they are not case evidence, walkthroughs or a list of confirmed playable DLC missions. The county and its cities are fictional. This is the official publisher’s world archive, not a collection of player-submitted accounts.
