If you’re into narrative-driven games that don’t require a ton from you in the skill department and rely more on puzzles and thinking, you’d probably be a fan. Though we were only able to play a brief demo of the game, we already see some real promise in this newcomer to the point and click adventure game genre. Don’t worry the interactions and dynamic feel of navigating the town will keep the game feeling fresh. Your primary interactions will be to examine, talk, pick up, or use the different people and objects in the environment. We’ve already established that this is a point and click adventure type of game. This fact just makes it that much more enjoyable because you’ll find yourself relating to those character types we know and love. Along the way, you’ll meet some interesting characters and they share some similar archetypes we have seen in sci-fi before there are the adventurous kids, crazy mad scientist, and some new takes on the genre. It honestly reminded me a bit of Stranger Things, let me know in the comment section if you agree there. Some people in the town are starting to act super strange and then animals are acting even stranger, so you’ll have to get work asap to figure out what is going on here. The story takes place in 1974, so you’ll be jumping back in time for this adventure. Without ruining anything we can safely say something strange is going on in the town. The entire story takes place over 7 days since you’ll (the main characters) have to get back to school, but the gameplay will make you want to solve it as fast as you can! Storyline
