(*wherein save can be defined as, but not limited to: successfully troubleshooting your houseplant that won t stop sassing you, preserving the historical record of astronautical dinosaurs, or uncovering the truth behind the suspiciously helpful robot bellhops).

While this game is mostly played offline, players can visit the Hincksville website to solve the mystery or access hints. —description from the publisher
