A Week Before Autumn

JOIN THE PARTY

Home to abandoned buildings, bowling alleys stuck in time, and overflowing thrift stores downtown, Pine Hill is a quiet Midwestern college town. Quiet enough that nobody seemed to hear Ginny Nicholson die. The fine arts students at Pine Grove University felt it the most, but, to you, that isn't enough. You want to know why.

At Halloween party turned night of awkward conversation and mournful drinking, Alex searches for answers in the memories of Ginny's friends, unraveling things about themselves, their hometown, and Ginny that they never knew. A Week Before Autumn is an interactive narrative game that explores the nuances of the connections we have, the beauty in the little things, and rediscovering the place you call home.
