About this game

Welcome to Aurora Hills!

Nestled deep within the Appalachian Mountains, Aurora Hills was known for its thriving industry and its picturesque landscape. Owing to the region's natural resources, Aurora Hills was looking to become one of the most prosperous towns in the state.

All is not how it seems, however. A series of disappearances of residents and tourists alike have plagued the region over the past few years, sparking a mass exodus from the small town. Now, in October 1981, the town is a shell of its former self. The prosperity that once blessed Aurora Hills has all but evaporated.

Working as a park ranger, you must investigate what's going on with these disappearances and answer questions that have tormented residents for years. Why has there been an increase in disappearances over the past 6 months? Why are there no traces of the people who went missing? Perhaps most importantly, who, or what, could be behind all of this? It's up to you to venture forth, deep into the national park, to uncover the mysteries of Aurora Hills...

Great game. I am a fan of Novasoft so I was real happy when I found out they are releasing a new game series. Game play was good. No glitches. Puzzles weren't to hard. I've always liked their method of story-telling, game graphics, and music. I also have always liked how their games are a tiny bit creepy but nothing super terrifying, satanic, or grotesque. It's more intrigue. No profanity so this game is safer for a wider audience. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Looks great. Camera can be used whenever you want. Unfortunately it is very short. It ends just as story really begins, which is extremely frustrating. Constantly using the back button e.g. leaving the toilet block to get all the way back down the track, take the other track, get the hose then go back to the toilet block is slow and boring. Need a quick means of travelling to places already visited.

Surprisingly great graphics, medium to hard puzzles (with clues if you need them!). Story line is very intriguing and will keep you working hard to move the story along and find out what's happening in Aurora Hills State Park. This game also moves along visually in first person, so it looks you are really in the room, looking around for clues and working puzzles. The only thing that I found disappointing is that Chapter 2 isn't readily available to play yet! Keep up the good work developers!
