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...



Developed by the creators of Meridian 157, Aurora Hills: Chapter 1 is the first part in series of point and click puzzle adventure games. Based in the year 1981 in a small West Virginian community, Aurora Hills follows the journey of Ethan Hill, a park ranger tasked with investigating strange disappearances from the region. Explore the rolling hills of West Virginia, find clues of the whereabouts of the missing people and solve intriguing puzzles to uncover the mystery of Aurora Hills!

While this chapter 1 is pretty short, I thoroughly enjoyed the game. The detective type work was fun, and I liked the camera feature. Being able to take a picture of a clue and then look at it to help with the puzzles in the game is an awesome feature. I wish more games had this feature. Also, the graphics were fantastic. I look forward to more chapters.

Fantastic looking game. NO ADS AT ALL! The short video segues look darn near photorealistic. Gameplay is pretty decent, standard escape-the-room point and click style. The puzzles are generally good, the interface works smoothly and I experienced zero bugs. A bit short, tho. I would pay a reasonable amt for the next chapter.
