“Find her before it's too late”: card-based detective game Hillthorn released on smartphones, PC, and Nintendo Switch

Players will have to uncover the mystery of a girl's disappearance before time runs out.

Publisher Raw Fury has released Hillthorn, a card-based detective game from studios Fool Moon and Finnegan Motors, which is already available on PC, smartphones, and Nintendo Switch.

According to the plot, a detective arrives in a remote mountain settlement to search for a missing girl named Olivia. The entire investigation unfolds at a card table. The player will have to play action cards to inspect locations, examine clues, and question residents. There is no dialogue in the game at all — what happened has to be pieced together from the cards revealed in response to actions.

There is not much time for the search, as each turn advances the clock, so checking all leads in a single playthrough won't be possible. The story has several endings, and information gathered during one attempt will help choose a different path in the next investigation.

In the Russian App Store, Hillthorn costs 799 rubles, while on Steam the game is priced at 899 rubles, taking into account a 10% launch discount valid until November 17.
