The most important case of your life awaits… do you dare to solve it?
Thatcher Mystery
Start
Introduction
You are facing a strange case: the village master thatcher has disappeared. No one saw them leave. No message was left behind. But in the days before they vanished, they were working on several roofs across the village, and something about their work didn't seem right.

The Irish Archive holds records of roofs, patterns, and ridge designs, but only one matches the number you found...

I worked at the Irish Archive.We track every roof, every repair, and every thatcher. That's when I found it... Certain houses weren't just being repaired; they were altered to hide something else... Stolen goods... hidden inside the thatch And the Records? They were being erased to protect people responsible. No accidents, no mistakes. When I tried to report it, I realized the people behind it had power in the village. If I spoke out, I would disappear too. I need more than just myself to bring the scandal to light. That's why I've been hiding in Blackridge Cottage, and that's why I chose you; I needed someone no one would suspect. The clues weren't just to find me; they were to see if you could uncover the truth.

Blackridge Cottage... Have you heard of this place? It's a few miles from the city, always shrouded in fog and always off of maps. People say it is an abandoned thatched cottage. If that's the destination, you need more answers. Play the cassette tape now.
