8 itemsAbout the Game
Uncover the mystery of the Ghoul's Grove, hidden in the Australian outback and filled with strange and mutilated scare actors. Darcy, an ex-detective, and his curious daughter, Jess, uncover the truth about the horrors of the carnival when they find one of the disfigured employees murdered. Play as Darcy in this multiple-choice visual novel to find out who did it, but should you have bailed when you had the chance?
Darcy has a secret too, but he can't hide it from his daughter for long. Something happened to Jess' mother before Darcy quit his job, and she can't shake off the feeling that there's more to it than what he leads on. Darcy has changed, Jess has changed as well. If they stick at this place any longer, they will both be changed for the worse.

DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE
