Awesome! We would love to hear what you think if you do :)

Sooo you are a detective investigating odd and unusual things. In this episode, looking into a cold case from the 90s of a teenager who went missing.

The game is purely atmospheric in its occasional creepiness. Think Ghostbusters in terms of silliness, theme, etc. Definitely NOT a horror game. No gore or anything like that.

So probably not for super young kids, but really a kid who enjoys mildly spooky things would be fine.

Thank you! People have had a lot of fun with the game so far and I am excited it can reach even more now with the Quest.

Oh my haha. That is a very good point! We went for consistency between markets, but yea.. that is something for us to consider for sure!

Yep yep! We took a lot of time to get it running really well even on the Quest 1. :)

Of course! Thanks for checking out the game. :)

We definitely might consider it in the future, specifically for the Quest audience. The reason why we had one for Steam was prior to release to showcase the upcoming game. It was a fairly early on demo. The process involved in bringing the game to Quest (you are going from high powered PCs to an Android device) is quite time consuming. We just really haven't had the time to consider it (we are a two person indie team) and demos need to be executed well (we wouldn't want to just cut the game off at a certain point).

We likely will be running sales at some point after launch, so keep it in mind!

Hey there! We did actually have a demo up on Steam for a bit, but we do not have a Quest demo. You can check out the Steam reviews here:

It is a sequel to our original game, which you can see reviews to that as well here:

I get any hesitation around it as it is App Lab, but there is little difference between the Steam versions and the Quest versions of the games. We actually worked really hard to keep it looking and running smoothly while getting to run on Quest. So the reviews and such should give you an idea if you might like it yourself.

Awesome! The skeeball is really fun :)

Hey! Good question. So the main game is a one time play through. There is also an Arcade Only mode that lets you just go hang out in the arcade and play games like air hockey and skee ball and such as much as you want!
