CONFIDENTIAL- Missing
- Mariam, 20
- Last seen
- Saturday 19 September, 01:30
- Place
- Le Palmier wedding hall, Nouakchott
- Evidence
- Her phone, found in the sand
Her brother was waiting outside the hall at 2 a.m. She never came out.
Three days later, you find her phone on the ground. It switches back on. Messages pour in: her brother, her mother, her friends… and an unknown number writing « Finally. Did our plan work? »
It's not your phone. But you might be the only one who can find her.

No controller, no map: everything happens inside her phone, like real life.
