Cultist Simulator Style & Time Loops Meet in This Freshly Released Detective Game

Hillthorn, a detective story by Fool Moon and Finnegan Motors, has been released to test your investigation skills.

Navigate the maze-like trails of Hillthorn and the no less treacherous minds of its inhabitants in this indie game where all the actions, motions, and words are cards. 

The card design is sleek and might remind you of Cultist Simulator. But this time, you're on the other side of the action. Your job is to find a missing woman, figure out what's going on behind closed doors, and decide the fate of the village.

Last time, I complained about the demo's length, and while the full game is longer, don't expect to spend 30 hours here, unless you're really bad at puzzle-solving. Your choices will build the town or destroy it, and you'll wonder if saving everybody is really the best decision.

Exploring cards ensures you find all you need, but I have to say I got stuck in one place to the point of frustration (and, I must admit, cheating). Otherwise, it's not a mind-breaker, and mystery lovers will surely enjoy it. 

Just remember: you only have 10 hours before the clock strikes midnight and throws you back in time. Find out as much as you can and follow shortcuts.
