About the Game

Thursday. Ugh. Specifically April 30th, 1998.

It's prom, and you're locked in the Grand Spruce Diner. Annoyingly it's for a good reason.

Someone chopped down the town's famous Grand Spruce and the collateral damage is Big News. It crushed an expensive chevy, and also killed a guy.

Your job, whether people like it or not, is to figure out which of the many suspicious characters is capable of murder, be it human, tree, or other...

Explore the diner

You may be locked in the diner, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to explore. Bother people, investigate things, look under tables. You might find more than chewing gum.

About this game

This game was conceived as part of the HPS David Lynch jam, hence the heavy Lynchian themes. This is a Good Thing. We decided the game was worth expanding upon and have build it from the ground up, with gooder writing, more fun graphics, more characters to annoy, and most importantly, a fantastic soundtrack that makes you want to stare into the darkness as the fog rolls in.
