About This Game

This game started as a project for a college class. Over three semesters, it has grown into something all of us are extremely proud of. It’s been a long time coming and has taken a significant amount of work.

Puzzles and Time Management

There are a multitude of levels centered around how well you and your partner can solve puzzles, plan routes, and manage your time while saving civilians and putting out fires. Can you complete them all?

Sound and Art

Most pieces of audio, as well as every asset of art, was handmade by members of our team. The game features a detailed 2D pixel style with an art deco twist as vibrant as the era
