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!

Gráficos y música agradable, buenos enigmas, se pasa un rato muy bueno con él.
I love point and click games and this one was smooth as butter. Although, it was the first chapter, it definitely built up my curiosity and plenty of suspense. Mystery vibes all the way. The creator of this must be a fan of Nancy Drew. Loved it! Can't wait to check out Chapter 2!
Very charming. The Myst-ery hasn't fully kicked in yet, so on to the next chapter!

muy entretenido el juego , me demore su tiempo en entender pero lo disfrute mucho- recomendable para los que gozan en descifrar y resolver enigmas con criptogramas
Buena carta de presentación de cara a la segunda parte. Y, encima, gratuito.
Very fun! The puzzles were real stumpers, which I appreciate! And I love that there's hints readily available, as many as you'd like
I've always loved point and click puzzle games, especially detective mysteries like Aurora Hills. The first chapter was really fun and the puzzles were just hard enough to get me to think, but not impossible or too frustrating to figure out. I really enjoyed the detailed picture landscapes, graphics, and the cut scenes as well. I think my only wish is that there was more to interact with or look around at. If you enjoy point and click puzzle mysteries then this game is really good for that. Also I like games like this because a couple of people can sit there and play it together while figuring it out, which brings back memories. I'm looking forward to chapter 2 and playing other titles from this dev.
Very good. Enjoyed it very much. Exactly my kind of game.
One of the best point-and click puzzle games, rich in mundane absurdity. I'm a bit worried about the game maker's budget since there is much reality :) Personally recommend Hard difficulty.
J'ai apprécié l'expérience mais je suis extrêmement déçue de découvrir que seul le chapitre 2 est disponible, qu'il a été produit longtemps après le chapitre 1 et qu'on ne sait absolument pas quand on aura la fin de l'histoire. Ce type de jeu en "épisode" ne me convient absolument pas.
