About This Game

Diane Carter never expected her folklore degree to get her a job offer from the local police department, but when a rash of occult-themed fires sets the city on edge, she is called in as a special consultant on esoteric religion to help find the culprit.

There's just one problem: the woman she's assigned to work with. She's cocky, beautiful, and far too familiar.

Can Diane and Jackie overcome the obstacles of their past and find the truth?

Features:

The 1980s - This is the Dark New Age, a time when belief in paranormal powers was mainstream and parents feared that their children would be kidnapped by Satanic cults or seduced by the evils of role-playing games.
Interactive mystery - Play minigames to search crime scenes for clues or interrogate suspects for insights, accessible either through mouse or keyboard/controller.
Multiple Perspectives - Play as both Jackie and Diane to uncover different information about the past and present.
Lesbian Romance - Develop a relationship between adult women.

One is a cop, the other a local expert on occultism, brought in as a consultant on a case perhaps related to the supernatural. Working together while navigating their unresolved past makes a good read. Again, you'll be disappointed if you come to this looki...
