"...designed to haunt you long after you've closed the case.

How It Works

Beginning October 1, you’ll receive an email every morning at 8:00 a.m. (CT) containing the next chapter of the story and a new puzzle to solve. Each day’s puzzle is woven into the investigation and may reveal evidence, decode a message, uncover a connection, or determine where the story leads next.

Each installment will include an online version and printer-friendly materials that can be downloaded and printed. Keep your completed pages together, track your theories, and build your own case file as the mystery unfolds across all 31 days.

The investigation concludes on October 31, when the final pieces come together and Ashwick’s secrets can no longer remain buried.

This Mystery Is Not for the Faint of Heart

Dead Air is intended for mature audiences. The story contains strong language and mature themes including murder, stalking, domestic abuse, trauma, disturbing imagery, and descriptions of violence. Some days offer a less-graphic alternative for particularly intense scenes.

This isn't a cozy little whodunit. Dead Air is dark, immersive, challenging, and designed to haunt you long after you've closed the case.

The complete 31-day Dead Air experience is $20. This includes all daily story installments, puzzles, online content, and printer-friendly materials.
