About The Diary
The Diary is a 2D narrative puzzle game about a missing-person case. You solve puzzles on the pages of several diaries to turn them and uncover the case’s buried past from different perspectives.
The diaries
The diaries include a journal full of life and doubts, two investigative notebooks written by different people, and a planner’s diary. As you read, you search for each diary’s owner and work out which of six characters’ perspectives you are following.
Uncover the case
The story has multiple reversals. The answer may be right in front of you, or it may never appear.
