The Mysterious Disappearance of Dr. Hardman

In 1878, the small town of Bristol was shaken by a shocking confession from local physician, Dr. John Hardman. He claimed to have done away with someone, but refused to reveal any details, instead handing over a document with a series of clues that he said would reveal the truth. And so, the mystery began.

Despite the efforts of the police, the case went cold and was eventually dismissed as a hoax. But now, Chief Inspector Sherbert Homes has discovered the case and is challenging YOU to solve it. Can you uncover the identity of the missing person and the evidence that will link them to Dr. Hardman's crime?
