Content notice: Ashes of Holloway Bay is a mature narrative mystery investigation game that deals with the realistic aftermath of a fatal house fire in which three people lost their lives. The game contains references to death, smoke inhalation, and a deliberate arson incident. These themes are presented through official police reports, post-mortem documents, news footage, witness interviews, and digital evidence, all in a documentary-style case-file interface. There is no graphic violence, blood, gore, sexual content, or nudity. The tone is dark and atmospheric, focusing on investigation, evidence analysis, and logical deduction rather than sensationalism. Players should be comfortable with themes of loss, tragedy, and criminal investigation. The game is intended for a mature audience interested in realistic detective storytelling.

STATUS: ACTIVE INVESTIGATION
On the night of April 15th, 2023, a deliberate fire tore through 17 Seacliff Road, Holloway Bay. Three lives lost. One survivor was pulled from the flames.
You have been granted full access to the Holloway Bay Police Department’s restricted evidence system.
Examine police reports, fire department logs, witness interviews, digital messages, post-mortem findings, and a partially recovered hard drive containing archived footage that may rewrite the entire case.
