About The Heirloom

The Heirloom is a single-player mysterious thriller adventure with puzzle elements, where players are given the opportunity to make fateful decisions while navigating through a story full of secrets and mysteries.


Story

After tragic events, orphaned 16-year-old Marla and her younger brother Jack find themselves in the care of their only living relative — a grumpy old man desperately trying to hide the secret of a dilapidated and frightening place in which he has been a recluse for many decades.

Forced to leave their home, Marla and Jack venture to faraway lands, across the ocean, to a small, nearly deserted town located in the western part of Scotland, somewhere on the Inner Hebrides.

Upon arrival, the children begin to notice unexplainable and frightening things happening in and around their new home. Things the other inhabitants of the island struggle so hard to ignore.

You have to uncover the secrets of your family and your grandfather’s old lighthouse as you work to discover the truth behind the unusual happenings.


Key Features

• A mysterious story inspired by the atmosphere of the Hebrides and Scottish folklore
• Interesting, touching, sometimes eccentric and funny dialogues
