Aurora Hills: Chapter 1

Aurora Hills: Chapter 1 is a point-and-click puzzle adventure set in a small West Virginian community in 1981. You play as Ethan Hill, a park ranger investigating the disappearances of residents and tourists in Aurora Hills, a town deep in the Appalachian Mountains.

The disappearances

Once known for its natural resources, industry and picturesque landscape, Aurora Hills had hoped to become one of the state's most prosperous towns. But disappearances over the past few years have driven residents away, and by October 1981 the town is a shell of its former self. You venture into the national park to search for clues about the missing people and investigate why disappearances have increased over the past six months, why no traces remain, and who or what might be responsible.

Explore and solve

You explore the hills of West Virginia, find clues to the missing people's whereabouts and solve puzzles to uncover the mystery. The game includes a logical hint system for some of its most difficult riddles, as well as a colour blind mode for colour-based puzzles.

Puzzles and atmosphere

The game features challenging puzzles, a custom soundtrack and sound effects designed to create a creepy atmosphere. It is the first chapter in a series of puzzle and escape-room-style adventure games.
