Dev Note: This game was conceived as part of the HPS David Lynch jam, hence the heavy Lynchian themes. This is a Good Thing. We wanted to expanding upon the game an it's story and are currently rebuilding it from the ground up.

This means gooder betterer writing! More fun graphics, including more responsive characters, loads more exploration, tons more characters to annoy, and most importantly, a fantastic soundtrack that makes you want to stare into the darkness as the fog rolls in.

The demo is available to play but BEWARE, things will be moved around in the final version due to story changes and spite. Love y'all!

Welcome to Spruce Falls

It's Thursday. Ugh. Specifically Thursday, April 30th, 1998.

It's prom, and you're locked in the Grand Spruce Diner. Annoyingly it's for a good reason.

Someone chopped down the town's famous Grand Spruce and the collateral damage is Big News. It crushed an expensive chevy, and also killed a guy.

Your job, whether people like it or not, is to figure out which of the many suspicious characters is capable of murder, be it human, tree, or other...

Explore the diner

You may be locked in the diner, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to explore. Bother people, investigate things, look under tables. You might find more than chewing gum.
