About
Welcome to Aurora Hills!
Nestled deep within the Appalachian Mountains, Aurora Hills was known for its thriving industry and its picturesque landscape. Owing to the region's natural resources, Aurora Hills was looking to become one of the most prosperous towns in the state.

All is not how it seems, however. A series of disappearances of residents and tourists alike have plagued the region over the past few years, sparking a mass exodus from the small town. Now, in October 1981, the town is a shell of its former self. The prosperity that once blessed Aurora Hills has all but evaporated.
Working as a park ranger, you must investigate what's going on with these disappearances and answer questions that have tormented residents for years. Why has there been an increase in disappearances over the past 6 months? Why are there no traces of the people who went missing? Perhaps most importantly, who, or what, could be behind all of this? It's up to you to venture forth, deep into the national park, to uncover the mysteries of Aurora Hills...
Developed by the creators of Meridian 157, Aurora Hills: Chapter 1 is the first part in series of point and click, puzzle escape room style adventure games. Based in the year 1981 in a small West Virginian community, Aurora Hills follows the journey of Ethan Hill, a park ranger tasked with investigating strange disappearances from the region. Explore the rolling hills of West Virginia, find clues of the whereabouts of the missing people and solve intriguing puzzles to uncover the mystery of Aurora Hills!

Great game! Not super long. But a great puzzle game with good graphics and music. The in game help is nicely done.
It an enjoyable escape-room-style experience. Most of the puzzles were fairly straightforward, while a few required more patience and careful thinking. Some were slightly tricky, not necessarily because the puzzles themselves were difficult, but because the instructions were not always completely clear. The game is not fast-paced, but that actually works well for this type of experience. You can take your time, explore, and solve everything at your own pace without feeling rushed. Overall, it is a good and relaxing puzzle game, and I enjoyed playing it. I would normally rate it around 7.5/10, but considering that it is completely free, I would give it a solid 9/10. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy escape games and puzzles.
played with a friend over call, definitely would recommend playing along side someone as was difficult at times and needed help. would suggest to others :)
very fun, very frustrating at points. played with my friend on call (playing independently) and i think thats the best way to do it, some things are obvious to different people. would recommend though! 9/10
还行 免费的点击解谜游戏。由于只是第一章所以流程较短,虽然分了简单和困难俩难度,区别仅在于能否获得提示,即使是困难难度通关仅仅1.5 h左右。而场景里可交互物品不多、线索较为明显,且游戏里还有照相机功能可以把看到的线索拍下来便于解谜,所以解谜难度不高。 游戏内容则是Aurora Hills近几个月来频繁出现人员失踪事件,玩家作为公园的护林员,需要深入林中揭开真相。而女同事Jen则先行一步,故玩家还需要找到同事留的线索赶上她的脚步([spoiler]最后进入林中一幕帐篷撕裂装备散落一地,女同事大概是凉了,看第二部怎么说吧[/spoiler]) 游戏的毛病在于可交互的地点没有指示,很多情况下只是鼠标乱点发现新场景。谜题倒是中规中矩(有几处线索藏得简直构式,最后厕纸上的谜题有点出乎意料) 等有时间了再看看第二部
Scenery is nice but quite boring, moving around is static (no map option either) and no interactions. Do not particularly enjoy this game.
A good solid puzzler, requiring keen observation skills and a bit of lateral thinking in addition to the usual mechanical problem solving. Art work is excellent. I spent a lot of time randomly clicking objects and bits of the scenery in case they might be relevant, but in many cases the game alerts you to the fact that you have all you need from this spot, which was a bit of a time saver. Glad to spend the money on Chapter 2.
Muy buen juego, los puzzles son muy buenos, y algunos bastante difíciles! Lo recomiendo
