The Archive

Your job is simple: classify forgotten reports.

The Archive is an OS-driven, UI-based investigative psychological narrative where nothing is quite what it seems.

You play as Nathan Reed, Who has been hired to work the night shift at the Bureau of Investigation – Case Processing Unit, tasked with clearing a classified backlog of highly sensitive reports that were never meant to resurface.

Every case you open is inspired by real-world documented incidents and unsolved mysteries, drawn from genuine accounts that were quietly forgotten over the years.

But as the nights pass, the cases grow more mysterious, the patterns more deliberate, and the archive begins revealing a truth that was never meant for you.

You play as a newly hired night-shift case analyst. Your responsibilities include:

• Reviewing classified incident reports
• Cross-referencing subjects through a secure database
• Examining attached evidence
• Reading internal memos and system messages
• Making classification decisions that influence how cases are handled

The Archive is played entirely through an immersive computer interface, featuring:

• An in-game email system
• A case file viewer
• A secure subject database
• Evidence attachments such as transcripts, photos, and reports
