-Oh ok interesting theres a bit more meat to their theory. They think it is a blimp covered in Christmas lights, meant to serve as a distraction to what is actually going on. Which is?
-Ok well they dont know that part. But the feds might take over the case it sounds like with a focus on the UFO stuff. Chief is pursuing it as something else and plans to keep doing his job. You go get them, chief.
-The Gannet name gets some interesting responses. Chief knows them. Theyre apparently a wine company that owns a bunch of wineries along the cost. I mention the weirdo that talked to me and that seems to get his attention. Since Kornfield didnt get a name, there isnt much to go on and the Chief overall doesnt seem too concerned because people in general have been getting worked up about the alien stuff.
-Kornfield doesnt bring up the fact that he brought up the possibility of a serial butcher unprompted, which was the most suspicious part of the whole interaction. KORNFIELD CMON MAN I KNOW YOU ARENT A DETECTIVE BUT YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THIS STUFF.
-I also get the name of a lawyer, for some reason. Chief brings it up but Im not quite sure why. I get a note on him though so I might be able to check the phone directory again.
-I tell Chief about Ruth Pike, too, and Chief doesnt seem to think it matters much.
-John: I guess she loved plants. Chief: Everybody loves plants, Kornfield. I dont know what to make of it. Yeah Kornfield gotta agree with the chief on that one. I dont even know what the connection here is supposed to be. Ok so people went missing in 1953 and someone died in 1953 and now people are missing again and someone died again? Sowhat? What are you getting at and why even focus in on the date? Im confused.
-Chief doesnt want to get the Pikes involved if he doesnt have to. Sound powerful. Yeah ok chief but have you considered she died a year other stuff happened? Hm? HMMM?
-This does trigger something else though. Chief goes on to say theyve dug around in older records and found many more missing person events. Going back through the years pretty frequently. WE REALLY ARE DEALING WITH PENNYWISE! Or some sort of rich person cult or something. Not sure.
-John: Whats a normal amount of missing persons? John I get what youre asking but that is a sentence you never want to say to a cop because its going to get you put on a list.
-Chief sort of gets it though. Most years only have a handful through a year and they get resolved within a couple of days.
-This is a really fun story but one weird thing now: how the fuck did someone not notice huge clumps of people disappearing all at once in specific years? That seems like something even a little routine police work wouldve uncovered.
-Oh ok that lawyer is the lawyer for Gannet Wines. Thats why the Chief brought him up.
-Ty pages me. Another job?
-Uh no. He just wants to talk about how cool the park was. And how excited Annas been. More excited about this than shes been in years. Thatsdepressing.
-Like I get that the alien thing is cool, but at the same time you think more people would be like oh shit 30 people are gone what the hell happened to them?
-Ooh Ty isnt all gushing about aliens. He knows about Garret Wines. It is where the Altons got their start, apparently. INTERESTING.
-John is like how do you even know that? and Ty is like uh I read it in the paper this morning. Dammit John. Thats what you get for telling me you didnt need the newspaper when I checked the stand.
-Kornfield keeps thinking back to what the weirdo said. Stick to the alien story. People like it. Yeah, people like that better than the rich people killing everyone story I feel like things are heading towards.
-Well its Sunday. Two days left. I feel like the twists will be coming soon.
-Uh oh. Kess says Anna was supposed to be at the park two hours ago but never showed up. She left the park at like 11 last night so she could listen to The Darkest Hour. THATS HOW PEOPLE GET DISAPPEARED, YOU FOOL!
-Well time to go tell Ty his daughter is dead and mutilated.
-I tell Ty and he is way too nonchalant. Oh maybe she slept in. No, thats not the appropriate response, you dork. More along the lines of OH MY GOD 30 PEOPLE HAVE GONE MISSING CALL THE COPS OH MY BABY GIRL. Put your heart into it, man.
-The receptionist is back at Alfalfa Tower. She left at five so she didnt see the weirdo talking to me and she never heard of the lawyer I ask her about. USELESS.
-Except not useless! Not useless at all! She recognizes the match book. It is for an event space called Heaven that is also owned by Gannet. She gives me the address and I skip along my merry way.
-Margaret is back, and shes got juicy info for me. That Gary Lowell guy is her ex-husband. Oh boy.
-Ok so Gary worked for the Hawthornes, which is some other big family. Margaret got to know them, the Altons, the Pikes, and the Farewoods. All big families in town. Theyre very strange people, John. I KNEW IT! MURDER BILLIONAIRES! THEY HAVE A MURDER CLUB!
-Margaret: These people just inherited some funny traditions. Ok, you got to tell me about murder club. Unless the first rule of murder club is you cant talk about murder club.
-She mentioned that Gary changed when Robert Hawthorne died, back in 1972. UH OH.
-So Pike dies in 53, people go missing. Hawthorne dies in 72. People go missing. Alton dies now and more people go missing. What the hell are they doing with the people?!
-So Hawthorne died in 72, but they kept that a secret for three years before announcing it. Why? And how? And why?
-Hey Chief! I got news Chief!
-Oh Chief is sad. Poor Chief.
-Feds are coming tomorrow to take everything over. Theyve been tracking the ship for days, they told him. Maybe you stop relaying messages from federal agents to me, chief. Im a lock installation guy and dont have the clearance for this.
-Some lady also followed the ship, and she saw something different. Like they thought, its a dirigible. Cool word by the way.
-Apparently it was remote controlled. Six guys took it down out in the woods and Chief is having some guys track them down. Hey, actual police work!
-Aw man he tells me to stop coming by. Itll complicate things with the feds and also everyone things Im crazy. Yeah, fair.
-He gives me his home phone and tell me to contact him if anything comes up. Hey Kornfield! Kornfield! Mention the lawyer guy and rich people dying the years disappearances happen. Tell him Kornfield!
-He doesnt tell him. Drats.
-Well time to go check out heaven. Hey wait I just realized that was the opening scene in the game, sort of. I was wondering how getting into the pearly gates tied into everything.
-I drop by Heaven and theres people moving around inside, but I cant get in because it is closed for a private event. Altons funeral? HMMMMM? Kornfield thinks so too and goes home to get some rest before crashing it.
-Oh, thats it! End of scene. Im entering the final one now which is Sunday night.
-I really want to finish but Im too tired. Looks like Ill tie up the mystery tomorrow. Sorry Anna! Hope youre not ritualistically sacrificed by then.

Time Played: Probably a solid three hours. And I'm not done yet! Hooray full game.
High Score: 7 days beat. 1 "day" to go.
Beaten? Close, but no.
Grade: It'll depend on the ending, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a 7 or 8. Somewhere in that good to very good to great range.
Favorite Part So Far: The whole thing is just kinda cool. I like the noir mystery vibes I'm getting.
