About the Game

The Dismissed Case: Black Hollow is a narrative-driven detective thriller set in 1993.

An old case, once closed due to lack of evidence, is reopened. Authorities have moved on, but the truth remains buried. As a dismissed detective, you take on the case no one else is willing to solve.

In the town of Ridgemour, you examine crime scenes, collect evidence, analyze reports, and question the locals. Every detail matters, and each deduction you make can change the direction of the investigation.

Throughout the game, you piece together clues, draw your own conclusions, and shape how the case unfolds. Wrong assumptions can lead you astray, while careful analysis brings the truth closer. The story adapts to the decisions you make.

Ridgemour is quiet. People avoid speaking. Some hide the past, others want it forgotten, but the town’s history refuses to stay buried.

This is not just an investigation; it is a detective experience where tension rises with every step toward the truth.
