How it feels

A slow-burning mystery with a tense, eerie atmosphere set in an unsettling Australian country town.

What players say

Players praise the authentic Australian setting and voice acting, but are split on length and polish. Many call it a short 3–6 hour mystery that scratches a Nancy Drew itch, while others report bugs, stuttering, and an ending some found underwhelming.
