Legends of Cobalt Lake & District

"Nobody's seen Amber in weeks." The voice that shares this information with you couldn't be more disinterested.

People didn't like Amber Gillies. She was old, reclusive, and the subject of investigation when a 16 year old girl was found dead on her expansive property.

The last time she wrote to you, she was helping your uncle write a book about local history and interesting legends. Of course, that went sour, and as far as you've been concerned, its been radio silence since.

But it's not like her to just not show up when she's supposed to. She might be hurt, or worse.

If the locals won't do anything about it, you will. It's time to return to Cobalt Lake.

About

Legends of Cobalt Lake & District is a short point-and-click horror game where players uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of disgraced academic and recluse Amber Gillies.

The game itself is pretty simple, but if you run into any problems, don't hesitate to ask questions in the comments!

Legends of Cobalt Lake & District was developed by myself, (Christopher Risewick [Tower & Moon]) from October 16 to November 7 as a part of the 2020 Haunted PS1 Halloween Jam.

Content Warnings

• Gore
• Homophobic slurs
• Implied sexual violence

Apart from Gore, most of these content warnings come directly from narrative text. I don't have a great internal metric for what should constitute a content warning, so if you find anything which might be worth mentioning from your own play experience, please notify me and I will gladly add it to this list (which is by no means exhaustive).
