Face the shadows of Stillwater—unravel the curse, confront the truth, and make choices that will decide the Mortimer family’s fate.
Stillwater is a short but gripping visual novel that blends mystery, horror, and the supernatural. You play as a private investigator caught in a web of lies, secrets, and an eerie family curse.
Story
It all starts when Nina Mortimer delivers a strange letter to her grandfather, Henry—a message written in blood-red ink, warning of a forgotten promise and a dark curse. Private investigator Hugo Laurent and his assistant, Noah De Leon, take the case and soon encounter bizarre events: an old man growing young again, buried family secrets, and a supernatural force lurking in the shadows. As you progress, you’ll sift through lies, uncover truths, and face chilling moments to solve the Mortimer family’s mystery.
How to Play
This is not an action game—it’s about story and choices. Built with the Ren’Py engine, Stillwater offers text-based storytelling supported by expressive art and atmospheric music. Read, spot clues, and decide how the investigation unfolds.
The game is short enough for one sitting, but with two endings and branching paths, it’s worth replaying to see every side of the story.
