Its 1997. Two students are dead.
You have one week inside an American high school to figure out why.
SideEye High is a grounded, consequence-driven point-and-click detective mystery built around observation, interpretation, and omission. You won’t be led from puzzle to puzzle. You decide what’s worth investigating, what’s worth following up on, and what gets left behind.
Nearly everything you see can be inspected or questioned. Floors, lockers, desks, notes, trash, and details most games ignore can all become evidence. You cannot inspect everything — and what you miss changes what you believe happened.
What you notice matters. What you miss does too.
