Millwater

A grimdark interactive fiction horror game about contamination, loss, and the things that dream beneath the water.

Your sister disappeared six months ago in the small logging town of Millwater. The locals say she left. The sheriff says she's fine. Everyone tells you to stop asking questions.

But you found her journal. And you know something is wrong.

Millwater is dying. Has been dying for forty years, ever since the chemical factory closed and sealed its secrets. The water tastes metallic. The townspeople forget things. And something old—something that was always there—is dreaming in the reservoir.

The more you investigate, the more you drink the water. And the water is changing you.
