A narrative adventure game about friendship, loss and an encounter with the supernatural
There are probably few places more uncommon to choose for celebrating your recent graduation than Nightfall, a remote island somewhere in the Northern Atlantic. But that's exactly where Thomas and his friends Aaron and Jules plan to spend the next month at. While each of them has their own motivation for the trip, soon after their arrival they will come to a common realisation: Beneath the island's rough landscape and the equally rough inhabitants there is something strange going on, and the lack of internet reception will soon be their least concern.
As one after the other begins to experience inexplicable blackouts and start seeing things they can't logically explain, the local stories of strange apparitions and haunted places suddenly don't feel that far out anymore. And then there's their landlord's son Gavin, who seems to know more than he lets on - and who is more deeply involved than any of them realise, including Gavin himself.What starts out as a harmless summer adventure soon turns into a perilous quest for the truth as Thomas and his friends set out to uncover the island's best kept secret - a secret that might impact all life on the island, and maybe beyond.This game contains mature themes and is targeted at an adult audience.
