An old-school point-and-click detective adventure game, and also a debut project of Swedish Clifftop Games studio. The game is set in mid 90s, where we play as the titular girl, whose main interest include rock music, motorcycles and playing detective. When she receives the sad message of her grandfather’s death, our protagonist decides to visit her hometown, Conwell Springs, for the first time in years. Once there, she quickly comes to the assumption that her grandfather’s death wasn’t natural, and starts her own investigation together with her friend Elleen, which will lead her to an unusual discovery. Gameplay focuses on typical detective activities: exploring locations, looking for clues, talking with people and solving puzzles. Developers wished for their game to stay true to genre’s standards from before 20 years, visible in graphics in 320x240 resolution and quite high difficulty level.
