Plot

The action of the game is set in 1966, during the famous Leonids shower. We play as a student named Lee, whose passion is the American Civil War. He learns from a friend at the university that outside the city, next to the Holt gas station, there is a perfect spot to observe the mentioned astronomical phenomenon, perfect for an unforgettable date.

The hero goes there with his girlfriend. There he meets writer Lou Hill, who claims that the meteor showers are linked to the Mothmen, also known as moth people, or mysterious beings whose appearance always brings bad luck. This encounter will change Lee's life forever.

Mechanics

The plot is strongly non-linear. It offers several alternative endings and each of them can be reached in many different ways. That's why the whole game has to be passed several times, because only then we can see all the scenes and threads the game has to offer.

Game modes
