Buy Hope in the City PC key

Hope in the City is a narrative mystery set in Shenyang, China. You play as 17-year-old Hope Song, whose parents disappear while she is under pressure from school exams. Returning home to find the apartment in disarray and no note or explanation, Hope investigates what happened and searches for the truth beneath the city’s calm.

Investigate through sketches

Hope is not a detective, and the people she turns to seem intent on avoiding trouble. Instead, she uses an artist’s eye to notice details others miss. As you explore and speak with people, you record clues as sketches in Hope’s notebook.

Combine sketches to form insights, then add new thoughts until they become breakthroughs. Piece by piece, the sketches reveal what happened to Hope’s parents—and a truth darker than she expected.

Explore Shenyang

The city is more than a backdrop: its streets, storefronts and shadowed alleys hold secrets to uncover. You can wander past neon signs and quiet corners in a bold, stylized world. Though the neighborhoods and neighbors seem familiar and ordinary, Hope cannot be sure whom to trust, and must find the truth without waiting for help.
