The Rivergrove Files
SteamAbout The Rivergrove Files
The Rivergrove files is an immersive, story-driven mystery game set in 1999 and played through a simulated retro computer.
You are given access to an old desktop filled with files, emails, photos, phone logs, notes, browser pages, documents, receipts, and other fragments of evidence. By exploring the computer's programs, reading carefully, solving puzzles, and connecting clues, you must uncover the truth behind a suspicious case in the neighbourhood of Rivergrove.
The deeper you go, the more you uncover about the computer’s owner and their connection to everything.
Can you piece together the truth before you run out of time?
