Project Description
DOCKET’87: THE NOVIKOV’S FILES
A true crime detective game where you map suspects, reconstruct timelines, and use deduction to find the truth everyone missed.
A REAL CASE…
Late 80s. Costa Blanca.
A businessman disappears without a trace.
No witnesses. No clear sequence of events.
Years later, the case survives only as an archive:
reports, photographs, recordings, statements.
… NOW IN YOUR HANDS
Every document is a version of events.
Some are precise. Some are incomplete. Some contradict each other.
To move forward, you must examine the evidence carefully, identify the people involved, trace their relationships, reconstruct where everyone was — and when — and recognize what fits… and what doesn’t.
There is no single path.
Only evidence, deduction, and a perfect crime.
Until now.
RECONSTRUCTED WITH CARE
Docket ’87 is inspired by a criminal investigation that has fascinated people for decades.
Not because it offered clear answers, but because it didn’t.
Its characters, setting and events have been reimagined.
Yet the questions at its heart remain the same.
Docket ’87 invites you to step into that uncertainty.
To examine every document.
Question every witness.
Challenge every conclusion.
Because sometimes the hardest mystery isn’t discovering what happened.
It’s deciding what to believe.
