Docket 87: The Novikov's Files

A REAL CASE... Late 80s. Costa Blanca. A businessman disappears without a trace. No witnesses. No clear sequence of events. Years later, the case survives only as an archive: reports, photographs, recordings, statements. ... NOW IN YOUR HANDS Every document is a version of events. Some are precise. Some are incomplete. Some contradict each other. To move forward, you must examine the evidence carefully, identify the people involved, trace their relationships, reconstruct where everyone was — and when — and recognize what fits… and what doesn’t. There is no single path. Only evidence, deduction, and a perfect crime. Until now. RECONSTRUCTED WITH CARE Docket 87 is based on a real criminal case. Names, places and identifying details have been changed out of respect for the people involved. But the case itself has been reconstructed as faithfully as possible. Not because it makes a perfect detective story. Because real cases are rarely perfect. They are incomplete, contradictory and full of things people forgot, hid, misremembered or chose not to say. That is where the game begins: with the fragments that remain, and with the work of making sense of them.
