Fairview Slipstream
A downloadable dream for Windows
Fairview was a company town, a hundred years ago when the Appalachian hollow was found to be rich in tin for the mining. A community built up; but post-war a vast amount of natural gas was discovered underground and MONOCORP came in and began fracking. It brought more wealth—but not to the town...only to MONOCORP.
But this story isn't about tin or gas. It's not about diesel or asbestos. It's not even about wealth or fire.
It's about how we find and treat each other.
NOTE: The game takes around 30 minutes to complete and does not contain a save system.

Pretty cool game with a nice story, the art styles of the portraits and cutscenes kinda remind me of some adventure games from the 90s. Congrats for everyone involved!
Interim report of sorts.
I was hooked right away! About half an hour in though I lost all progress, assuming it would auto save after each scene. Tried to find a menu before closing, but all the standard buttons didn’t do the trick. Only later remembered that there was a booklet… so I’ll revisit sometime later with all my newly gained knowledge. However, pressing ESC didn’t work on my PC, while that is stated in the booklet.
Another issue I found came with the full-screen mode: it didn’t scale the picture, just dropped it unchanged in the top-left of an otherwise black background. Whoops.
P.S.: Excellent trailer, btw. Burning palms out of nowhere.
Okay, I just spotted the note about offering no save system. Sure thing I was mislead by the “CONTINUE” option in the opening menu, but that was probably enforced by the game engine in use. (Nonetheless, the note would have been better placed in the game itself.) Why several entries in the booklet’s controls table do not fit the controls of the game… that I have a hard time explaining away. Any explanation welcome. :)
Great game with a great story! I would love to see some type of continuation of the story!
