Mystery Trackers: Silent Hollow

**Mystery Trackers: Silent Hollow** is the fifth installment in the *Mystery Trackers* series by Elephant Games.

## Plot

Something is going very wrong in Silent Hollow, the quiet community where the Mystery Trackers are headquartered in an ancient castle. Some of the people, including the Mystery Trackers themselves, are acting oddly, and the Commander himself is being targeted. He sends for one of his best agents, who is the only person who can handle the situation.
(To be continued.)

### Bonus Chapter

Not long after the main chapter is resolved, a new terror descends on the castle in Silent Hollow. Members of the Mystery Trackers are disappearing - vanishing not only from physical view but also from recorded history, as if they'd never existed in the first place. The Commander disappears in the middle of briefing Amber on the situation.

Amber soon deduces that the culprit, whose name is unknown, is a time traveler. She chases him back in time to the days of the order's founding, where she learns that he's been killing off the ancestors of members of the modern order to prevent the Mystery Trackers from ever forming, which has the side effect of preventing the future agents from being born. She apprehends the criminal and is able to correct the timestream, undoing the murders and restoring the organization to rights.

## Characters

* Amber and Elf: A Mystery Trackers field agent and her companion animal.
* Commander: The leader of the Mystery Trackers organization.
* Agents Clyde, Shade, Stone, Wolf, Rayne, Paige, and Scroll: Members of the order who are attacked during the course of the main game.
* Jasper: Current owner of the Good Shepherd pub, which has provided drinks and shelter to members of the Mystery Trackers for centuries.

## Connections

* A book in the library includes information about the first four games in the series.
* Upon bypassing the security measures around the Hypnoeye, the player watches a short video in which a Mystery Tracker talks a bit about the device. This is Agent Brown, who first appeared in *Raincliff*; although he is not named in the game proper, the voice acting credits at the end of the game confirm his identity.

## Trivia

* According to the numbering on the cards themselves, the player should be able to collect 28 "secret files" cards with information about various Mystery Trackers agents and devices. However, according to the in-game strategy guide, there are only 16 found in the actual gameplay. The remaining twelve cards feature other famous fictional detectives, such as Sherlock Holmes, and are found by completing the "Secret Room" feature in the bonus material.
* This is the last *Mystery Trackers* installment to feature live actors superimposed on illustrated backgrounds.
* Gale Van Cott, who voices Agent Rayne, is a regular at Elephant Games. She also provides the voices of the title character in *Queen of Hearts*, Martha in *Mist Over Blackhill*, and Josephine in *Haunted Hotel: Lost Time*.
