About The Big Hollow: 1982

You are Desmond, methodical and intuitive, learning the art of criminal profiling under Lenore Davidson, the cold, exacting representative of the BSU. Your insights could prove the unit’s worth—or expose its limitations.

It's 1982, and in a small truck stop community where everybody knows everybody, Ida and Bonnie's disappearances left questions that no one dared to ask out loud. For the FBI, where the term 'serial killer' is as new as their Behavioral Science Unit, this case isn’t just about murder—it's a test of whether these monsters can really be mapped.

Ida and Bonnie’s case is full of fragments, contradictions, and unfolding secrets. To solve it, you must decipher the 'why' behind the crime, shaping Lenore’s impression of your potential as a profiler. Interpret what you see, uncover the meaning, and find your killer.

FEATURES:

• A tightly focused 2.5 to 3 hour case that tells a deep, atmospheric story in the 1980s American South
