Palewater Short Stories

What survives an ordinary day?

Palewater’s bright waterfront offers little protection from an unfinished conversation. Here, ordinary household records and objects passed between neighbors preserve histories that a changing city might otherwise lose. Follow the quieter mysteries behind the coast: who remembered a promise, who misunderstood a gesture and who finally found the words to answer.

Start anywhere. Each story stands alone, with a link back to its district. These are original website stories, separate from playable cases and DLC missions; they reveal no game solutions.
