The chilly air of the Appalachia mountains year 1981 never made me feel shivers that much until stepping into the next chapter of the game named Aurora Hills: Chapter 2. You play the role of Ethan Hill, a veteran park ranger suddenly finds himself alone among the old forests of West Virginia when the colleague Jen disappears in a mysterious way. The pile of scattered belongings, the torn tent and the darkness is gradually swallowing the familiar trails creating a feeling of anxiety to the point of suffocating. If you ever were obsessed with the series Meridian 157, this game exactly is the next step bringing you deep into the darkest secrets of the Aurora Hills region.
MYSTERIOUS POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE
The game maintains the classic point and click style but is refined extremely smoothly, making the exploration of remote areas become more attractive than ever. I feel clearly the loneliness of Ethan when having to alone follow the fragile traces in the national park full of scary urban legends.

The most valuable point of the game exactly is the diverse puzzle system, forcing you to utilize maximum gray matter if not wanting to be stuck forever in the deep forest. The puzzles not only are simple logic problems but they also are closely linked with the context of investigating the missing person case.
