LogInUncover the secrets of an abandoned Dimhaven island in a world of challenges, exploration, and puzzles, brought to you by the creators of Quern.
Taking inspiration from memorable narrative experiences like Quern, Myst, and Firewatch to form a mixture of adventure, puzzle-solving, and exploration-driven storytelling, Dimhaven Enigmas is an immersive, narrative-driven adventure, where you take on the role of Emily Ravenstone on a mission to find her uncle on the strange island of Dimhaven.
Dimhaven, a deserted island in an alternate 1980s, hides a dark secret. Inspired by a lost Eastern European country, it was once a tourist paradise, but now its fate is shrouded in mystery. Cargo transportation ceased long ago, and barely any news reaches the island – and none leaves it. Or so it seems.
