The Swirl

Take one hardboiled detective, an abandoned theatre, a ghostly otherworld, and what do you get? A caper worth seeing to believe

"As for the sun... no idea where its gone, just a buncha swirls in the sky now. Been hearing rumours about a place outta town, something about it being the catalyst of this supposed monochrome phenomenon. No idea where they got their info, pretty sure that's impossible."

This adventure takes you on a journey into the outskirts of a colourless town and the mystery of the now permanently closed Cavalier Theatre, a place full of dark tales. Learn about its history, those who were struck by its curse, and venture deep into the colourful world of the Tear. 

Will you make it out? Or will you become one with... the Swirl?
