About
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 escape room style 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!

Realized I never wrote a review for part 1 and I just reviewed part 2. If a point and click puzzle mystery set in the autumnal woods of West Virginia sounds up your alley, do yourself a favor and play this first installment. These games are gorgeous and so well put together, a real solid feat from a tiny team.
6/10 Mood, atmosphere, visuals, and sound design are excellent. Nearly all of the puzzles revolve around figuring out codes to open boxes or locked doors, which felt repetitive and lazy after a while, especially since so many of the solutions seemed nonsensical and overdesigned.
Way too short for me. But i like the game a lot! The puzzles are challenging but not so hard you nee to look them all up. The built in hint feature is a nice thing as well just in case you are super stuck.
Jogo muito bom! Me diverti muito jogando e batendo cabeça. Recomendo pra qualquer pessoa que goste de mistério e puzzel. Os puzzel são bem criativos alguns fáceis, outros confesso que fiquei preso mas foi por burrice kkk. A história é interessante me instigou a querer saber mais.
The atmosphere throughout the whole game is captivating and the puzzles are clever and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Enjoyable (free!) puzzle game!
