About

A phone call from a small, out of state police force was the last thing writer Penelope Pendrick was expecting that morning. But, it wasn't long after that she was boarding a flight to the quaint old town of Carlisle, Connecticut. When debriefed, Penelope learns her job is to join the search for three missing people; an older man who owns a local bookstore, a mysterious woman who keeps to herself, and a troublemaking teenage boy – the only common link between them being that they disappeared from the same town, within the same week. The Sergeant is stumped.
Once she begins to unravel the case, Penelope realizes that there’s something deeper – stranger – going on here. Unusual ties form between four deceptive suspects, each with something to gain and each with something to lose. Motives and suspicions weave in and out as Penelope uses her wits and penchant for rule-breaking to search for answers; some of which died with an eccentric and mysterious local artist fifty years ago. As the danger escalates, a timer begins to tick down on the lives of the missing. All that Penelope knows for sure is that there’s more to the town of Carlisle than it would appear, and that one wrong move could make this first case her last.

As a long-time fan of the Nancy Drew/Her Interactive universe, I've been searching for the point and click game that could finally scratch that itch. This is that game! Penelope is that girl! :) Fantastic play-through, great dialogue, excellent graphics and navigation, and fun puzzles. I can't wait for the next one to come out!
Deeply nostalgic to those of us who grew up playing Her Interactive games. Wow I got a little emotional seeing how many incredible women contributed to this project!!! Absolutely CANNOT wait for the next one!
Good game. Voice acting was good. Story was interesting. Graphics were decent. The puzzles were good but sometimes knowing what to do next didn't make a ton of sense. Still I enjoyed the game and would buy more in the series.
This was an amazing game - felt like the good ol' days, playing Nancy Drew. Great story, good puzzles, great graphics... just so good! Can't wait for the next one.
This mystery point and click game is a work of absolute art. It's a fascinating story that takes you all over Carlisle, CT. There is a wide variety of puzzles, some that were quite challenging and satisfying to figure out. Everything about this game was quite lovely. It has quickly become my favourite game. I HIGHLY recommend this game to everyone, especially mystery and puzzle lovers.
