The game
Walk into the aftermath
Stewards Automobile Co. was once a global name. Then an oil-tank explosion shut the factory down, and the official verdict was an industrial accident. Interpol was not convinced.

Long description
Stewards Automobile Co. built its name on cars and racing. Years ago, an oil-tank explosion tore through its factory, the company closed, and the public accepted the story of an industrial accident. International investigators, including Interpol, never fully did.
You play a detective with a personal reason to care about the case, sent into the abandoned facility to find out what the official record left out. You walk the empty halls, search offices and workshops, read recovered documents, play audio recordings and inspect physical evidence. Nothing here is a fight. The tension comes from not knowing what the next room holds.
The factory is told through its objects and spaces: dim light, industrial machinery, silence broken by distant sounds. The story is never handed to you. It is assembled from what you find, and each answer opens another question.
