Swedish indie publisher Raw Fury and developer Fool Moon have released Hillthorn, a dark, card-based investigation game, on November 10, 2026. The game is available on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Set in the mysterious mountain region of Hillthorn, the game follows an investigation into the disappearance of a child. Players must navigate its maze-like trails, uncover hidden secrets and gather information from locals while racing against time.
Unlike traditional investigation games, Hillthorn tells its story entirely through cards, with no spoken dialogue. Players collect Clue cards that can be investigated, explored or, in certain situations, interacted with to uncover more information about the disappearance. As an outsider, players must also find ways to gain the trust of local residents.
Time is another key element of the investigation. With multiple leads to pursue and limited time available, players must decide which clues to follow. Although an unknown force appears to offer opportunities to revisit previously unexplored paths, doing so may come at a cost.
Hillthorn is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, the Apple App Store and Google Play.
