Summary

Can you solve the mystery behind the spree of killings on this island?

Full Description

Nestled on the Salish Sea, the cozy island of Blacktail Harbor is set to host a week-long wedding party, with you in attendance. Not everything on this trip is cause for celebration, however... Fifteen years ago this town was the center of a spree of grisly murders that devastated the entire community. Everyone else has seemingly moved on-after all, the killer is dead and buried. They believe the murders are in the past and that the struggling town can now at last recover, but strange things have begun to happen again. One guest never showed up, another swears that someone’s been stalking them. You fear that for Blacktail Harbor, the worst is yet to come... Return to Blacktail Harbor is a single-player journaling game, where you investigate the mysterious goings-on surrounding a wedding, search for clues, question the guests for information, and try to stay alive. Will you rush to save your fellow party guests, or look out solely for yourself? Did the killer from years ago fake his death this whole time, or is there a copycat on the loose? Or perhaps something paranormal is afoot... This game functions as a writing tool to craft a unique mystery thriller all on your own! This game uses the Sinister Semester X system originally designed by Brite Palette, and is inspired by the 2009 slasher-mystery show, Harpers Island. Choose 1 of 6 different characters to play as, with unique abilities and backstories. Use clues and investigations to find out the source behind the dangerous presence stalking the wedding guests. Reach 1 of 6 possible pathways to find out the ending to an unforgettable party. All you require is something to write with, a 6-sided die, a clock, and a morbid imagination
