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.

Unlike most hidden object games, aurora hills has a much more developed visual design, and while the puzzles may be somewhat difficult, they throw in enough hints to not make the gameplay irksome. The transitions between each node is almost flawless, and makes the player feel more aware of the situation. The soundtrack does not leave much to be desired either, and gives you a feeling of what the protagonist feels during the play through. All in all, an enjoyable time.

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.

Looks great. Camera can be used whenever you want. Unfortunately it is very short. It ends just as story really begins, which is extremely frustrating. Constantly using the back button e.g. leaving the toilet block to get all the way back down the track, take the other track, get the hose then go back to the toilet block is slow and boring. Need a quick means of travelling to places already visited.
