An on-site narrative puzzle game about the American Civil War.

Description

After the disappearance of her sister while on a Civil War sightseeing trip, your distraught friend embarks on a journey to find her. You have agreed to stay in her sister’s apartment in case she returns, but soon after your arrival you must play the amateur detective and search for any clues you can find in the research materials she left behind. As you solve puzzles with pieces that exist in both the digital and physical worlds, you become a key character in a story about old and new tragedies, a consuming obsession with the past, and overcoming the fear of the future. The game features real letters written by soldiers during the Civil War, blending true stories from the past with a fictional story that takes place in the present.
