Every villager's tells, alibi ratings, and who agreed not to speak.
Roster and testimony patterns from the launch build. The village reshuffles presence per night, but each villager's tells are fixed. Alibi ratings are ours. [RECON] = single-run read.
The only source of official wording. Always half a notch more dignified than fact.
Every night-one line survives replay — until night four, when he quotes himself with three words changed. The community calls him "the living errata."
The first to lean in with "I saw something." Richest detail, impossible timeline.
[RECON] Her timeline slips aren't lies — they're fear. On night five her testimony is the most reliable skeleton.
Toro's predecessor; knows every old rule of the route. Stops answering the radio after night three.
His radio silence is one of the story's loudest silences — not harm, knowledge. The silence itself is evidence.
The kids at the village mouth. Nightly arc: curious → hostile → menacing.
Their hostility is pressure design, not clue — but on night three one face is missing from the crowd, and that face is the clue.
The vehicle-stop centerpiece. Night-one plates don't match night-four plates.
The plate mismatch is hard evidence — the notebook logs it automatically. His unloading point is marked "padi warehouse" on the maps page.
The mosque elder. Speaks once, night four only, only to those who arrive with a complete notebook.
[RECON] His words are the truth-page key — with no hint that the notebook must be complete first. The true ending's invisible gate.
The case's center. Young, vanished without a trace. You'll "meet" him night five — in which manner depends on the previous four.
His room has a wall of bus tickets. Who went where — the wall knows. Details on the truth page.
The informed don't lie; they simply agree not to speak.
