🔥 Burn Archives – Chapter 1: New City

Uncover the truth in a city that hides more than it shows.

You are a young detective, freshly transferred to a quiet town — or so it seems. What starts as a simple day at the police station quickly spirals into something darker: strange disappearances, conflicting reports, and secrets buried under layers of lies. Your mission? Find the truth before it’s erased.
