8 itemsAbout the Game
Investigate the Pacific Northwest town of Lightford in the 90s and uncover a conspiracy, gather clues and draw your own conclusions. Different parties are responsible for this once so peaceful place spiraling into corrupt and supernatural chaos. Cameras, Scanners, and a mobile detective board workstation. Use all the tools you have been given to untangle this mess and most importantly survive.
Tasers, grappling hooks, teleportation devices and more are at your disposal. Combine them however you can imagine and solve every puzzle your own way. Combat rewards improvisation and creative thinking over raw strength, so think fast, not hard.
Explore Lightford in two timelines: the living town of 1990 and its ruined future of 1995. What you change in one era echoes in the other. Places, people and paths that are closed in one timeline might be wide open in the other.
Experience this lively town first hand and chat with its citizens. Take on quests that lead you to places you shouldn't be. Stray from the beaten path and you might find something useful, or something you'll wish you hadn't.
