    Somewhere may seem like a quaint little surreal suburb - but deep down, it's a city that likes to sink its teeth into you. Especially if you're a hotshot camera-headed rookie investigator with everything to prove and nothing to lose. That's right, it's Stafford Hour.
    Starring Ian of Shrimp and Crits as Stafford, The Investigator
    Content warnings: surreality, smoking, drug use and addiction themes, alcohol use, paranoia, betrayal
