## What is Aurora Hills?

The morning of October 6, 1981, began like any other: waking up from a restless sleep, preparing for the day ahead of you and driving to the ranger station where you've worked for the past 11 years. Aurora Hills was once a tranquil community nestled within the mountains of Appalachia, but a series of disappearances have all but shattered the serene atmosphere. Only a feeling of desolation permeates the surrounding as you drive through the now dilapidated small town.  

Jen wasn't at the ranger station when you arrived that morning. Being the only other park ranger, she likes to get an early start to the day and by the time you arrived, she had driven to one of the many closed off hiking trails to start searching for the missing people. Following her trail of notes, you make your way off the main trail to meet up with her to explore the remote parts of the national park. When you find her camp however, your worst fears are realized: The site's been ransacked, her equipment strewn across the campsite, her tent's been torn up, and Jen is nowhere to be seen.  

There's no time to turn back now, it's already midday and the sun sets early this time of year. The only thing worse than wandering into the forest alone is braving it at night. You can't abandon Jen now, not when the trail is so fresh. Now you have no choice but to venture deeper into the uncharted parts of the national park, the parts mythologized into local urban legends by frightened townsfolk. You'd better leave soon, you may never get a better chance to uncover the dark history of Aurora Hills...

Developed by the creators of Meridian 157, Aurora Hills: Chapter 2 is the second part in a series of point and click puzzle adventure games. Based in the year 1981 in a small West Virginian community, Aurora Hills follows the journey of Ethan Hill, a park ranger tasked with investigating strange disappearances from the region. Explore the rolling hills of West Virginia, find clues of the whereabouts of the missing people and solve intriguing puzzles to solve the mystery of Aurora Hills!

### 5/5 — Waiting on the next!

*2026-08-24, version 1.0.2*

I like the story and the puzzles are not too hard. Graphics are really good. Plus, no permissions required is a bonus for me. Definitely looking forward to  next chapter!

### 5/5 — Pure talent…and pure genius

*2026-08-11, version 1.0.2*

This developer’s ability to put together multiple levels of story telling, characters, history, world building & beautifully detailed scenery…it’s just on another level. 

Then add in the VERY intelligent puzzles and we get an immersive game experience that keeps us thinking and engaged.

Like others have mentioned, this game is well worth MORE than the current price. 

[My ONLY wee-little suggestion is to change up the background music/sounds to reflect the environment/nature ambiance. Constant “tension-music” can become repetitive & distracting for those of us who tend to get hyper-focused within games that have multi-sensory components.]

But overall, that’s irrelevant to the bigger picture. This game was smashingly awesome…just like the Meridian series…and I can’t wait for the 3rd chapter of Aurora Hills!

Thanks Dev!

Peace

### 5/5 — NovaSoft does it again

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.2*

I have one critique only-I gotta WAIT for Aurora Hills 3!? 😭

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2026-07-26, version 1.0.2*

I don’t think I’ve ever written a review. This game was so good that I’m compelled to tell everyone else how great it is. I’ve played through so many other point and click puzzle games including Meridian 157 and this is truly one of the best ones out there. The puzzles are challenging yet doable. I felt like every puzzle or clue led nicely into the next one so I never felt frustrated by a dead end. The length of the game is really impressive as well, so you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. The story was also engaging and cohesive and had just enough mystery to keep me on edge. It’s a little annoying to click through so many different scenes to get from one to the next since the game doesn’t use a map, but also it gives that feel of a man just walking through the woods by himself so I’m really not complaining that much. One detail I’ve always liked from these games is the narrators thoughts. They add a lot of life to the character and the thoughts are like mini hints to either stop searching and move on or keep doing something, which I find really helpful. And just as an added bonus the amazing art, music, and sound effects make the whole game that much more immersive and enjoyable to play. Overall this game is fantastic and as a self-certified point and click escape room game expert I recommend you get it.

### 5/5 — Best adventure game I’ve ever played!

*2026-07-25, version 1.0.2*

Chapter 3, please !!! can’t wait 🥹🥹🥹

### 5/5 — A Cerebral Yet Engaging Experience!

*2026-07-10, version 1.0.2*

This point and click game takes the genre to its most polished and captivating levels. With a slow burn cryptic storyline and breathtaking visuals and sound design, puzzles help further escape into a seemingly idyllic world. The game is well supported with optional clues and the puzzles are well balanced in terms of the difficulty. I rarely buy mobile games and I’m glad I took a gamble on this game. It follows on well from the free to play 1st part and the franchise, however the story ends, deserves to be celebrated! No regrets in this purchase!

### 5/5 — my favourite games!!!!

*2026-07-05, version 1.0.2*

the absolute best point and click games, atmosphere is amazing, and puzzles are perfectly challenging

### 5/5 — Yesss!

*2026-07-03, version 1.0.2*

Au début du chapitre 1, je n’étais pas trop convaincu, mais de fil en aiguille, j’ai été attrapé par l’histoire, et là, j’ai hâte ce qui va arriver à Éthan et quel est son lien avec le mystérieux groupe.  À bientôt pour le chapitre 3…

### 5/5 — Even better than ch 1

*2026-06-22, version 1.0.2*

Incredible game, worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Loved it,

*2026-06-22, version 1.0.2*

Chapter one was okay. It was fun. Chapter two was awesome!  Can’t wait for Chapter three!
