Description
About This Game
The Story
In the quiet town of Covenbrook, a girl has gone missing.
Some say she ran away, but rumors online suggest something far worse.
With nothing else to do, you start digging.
Gameplay
Secrets of Suburbia is a story-rich, first-person mystery game that weaves horror and web exploration into it's core.
You can investigate at your own pace.
Key Features
Explore an internet of 1997. Discover fan sites, hidden forums, weird websites, and people's real online personas at 56kbps*. Once you get past that firewall mom installed.
Think Like a Detective. Progress through careful observation and deduction. Find keys, uncover passwords, infiltrate accounts, and connect digital clues with real-world consequences.
Search the suburbs. Venture beyond your bedroom into quiet streets, pristine homes, and forgotten spaces. Behind locked doors, buried secrets are waiting for someone curious enough to look.
Investigate the mystery at your own pace. There are no quest markers. Follow any lead and piece together a mystery that grows stranger the deeper you dig.
Or Just Stay Home. It's Friday night. Your sister is playing VirtuaPets. Your friends are on SwordScape. You JUST got the GameSphere for your birthday. Forget all of what's happening and get lost online. Y2K isn't for another 3 years, anyway!
