Hillthorn

Hillthorn is a tense, card‑based mystery set on a windswept mountain town. Your mission is to locate a missing person by blending clues and actions to shape the world around you.

Investigate by combining clues with actions to interact with the environment. Interrogate the locals by speaking with clue cards to uncover what happened and who is involved. Each conversation and encounter builds a map of connections, guiding you toward the truth.

Explore orienteering routes through the winding paths of Hillthorn and reveal the mountain’s hidden secrets. The town’s layout, its people, and the terrain respond to your deductions, forcing you to adapt as new information comes to light.

Solve the mystery before Midnight. Time is a constant pressure that shapes choices, risk, and pacing. Delays can close doors or complicate the investigation, while precise plays can accelerate progress and unlock fresh avenues.

How it plays

• Card-based investigation with no dialogue — rely on clue and action cards to drive interaction and discovery, not spoken exchanges.
• Combine concepts, actions, and clues — fuse ideas and options to unlock new paths, interpretations, and outcomes.
• Knowledge as progression — learning more about the town, its residents, and the mystery unlocks increasingly powerful choices.
• Time management — manage the ticking clock toward midnight as you decide where to invest your limited time.
• Exploration of a strange mountain and its community — navigate terrain, encounters, and rumors as you tighten the circle around the truth.
• No Generative AI — the investigation is guided by game design and player reasoning, not automated generation.

Hillthorn invites careful deduction, strategic planning, and thoughtful interaction with its inhabitants. Each session challenges you to balance curiosity with pragmatism, as you piece together the sequence of events that led to the disappearance and determine who can be trusted as the mystery unfolds.
