Small-Town Secrets
Press

For press, reviewers and podcasters

Small-Town Secrets is an online detective game told one week at a time. Each episode is a set of invented evidence: police reports, witness statements, photographs and logs. Players read it, mark what matters in their own words, build their own timeline and file answers before the next episode opens. We’re a tiny Ontario studio: two brothers, a lot of coffee, and one very suspicious town.
