What is Hellfire 1988: An Oregon Story?
In Bend, Oregon, during Halloween 1988, Jennifer Craft investigates a crime while facing suspicion from the local community.
The seventeen-year-old metal fan and slacker navigates a darkly humorous adventure that blends visual-novel conversations, point-and-click scenes, puzzles, and mini-games. The branching script spans 30,000 words and offers hundreds of decisions as Jennifer works to prove her innocence and protect the people close to her. A visual-novel-only mode removes the exploration sections and puzzles. English and Spanish are available, along with a hard rock soundtrack and a control for adjusting music volume. The estimated completion time is approximately 2 to 4 hours.
