The Story

In downtown Nashville, you have been summoned to the study of your late uncle, Nickolia 'Nicky' Vandershaff - a brilliant, secretive scientist you barely knew. News reports said he died in a fire inside a downtown lab building owned by the company he worked for. The remains were identified. The case appeared closed. But the strange timing of his disappearance, the rumors around his work, and the silence surrounding the fire made the story feel more like a cover than an ending.

Then came the postcard, dated nearly twenty years ago, carrying a warning from Uncle Nicky himself: if anything ever happened to him, wait for a call from Charles and trust no one else. Soon, men claiming to be federal agents began asking the family about his recent dealings and whereabouts. No one told them what the postcard said. This morning Charles finally called and ordered you to the study for the reading of a will that names you directly. Now, in downtown Nashville, your team must unravel what really happened, uncover what your uncle hid, and finish the final chain of clues he left behind before the wrong people get there first.
