About This Game

Twins Archer and Sam just want to relax after getting shipped off to stay with their eccentric uncle for the summer. Too bad for them the world is ending, and only they can stop it!



Bent Oak Island was once a bustling tourist hot spot, until a fire burned through the town square and turned everything to cinders. With the destruction of the town center, tourism dried up, and with it the main source of income for the island. Now 15 years later, the island has moved on, but is a shell of it's former self. The future of the island seems bleak, and to make matters worse, an air of dread has settled on the islanders. Ned at the diner is barely able to make ends meet after the paper factory shut its doors. The Captain swears the fish he catches are talking about him behind his back. A strange, hairy creature has been sighted stalking through the forests of the nature preserve. And Ted from the University on the mainland has measured the beginnings of disturbing tectonic activity- vibrations in the ground. The same activity that happened 15 years ago on the night of the fire.

Will Archer and Sam unravel the secrets of Bent Oak Island in time to save themselves from certain doom? Will Uncle finally be able to muster up the courage to ask out the head librarian? Will the pie shop ever actually have any pie in stock for people to eat? Find out the answers to these burning questions and much more by playing the game!



-Bent Oak Island follows the gameplay of classic point-and-click adventure games. In each scene there will be things to look at and interact with, items to collect, NPCs to talk to, and puzzles to solve.
-Gorgeous hand created pixel art, somewhere between NES and SNES graphics.
-Explore the island with main characters Archer and Sam, twins who get wrapped up in the island’s mysteries.
-A fully fleshed out world with deep lore that the player learns throughout the game. What starts out as a simple adventure turns into something much wilder and weirder!
-100+ different scenes with locations ranging from mountain peaks, to underground lakes, from abandoned factories, to townie bars!
-Two main endings, with a third secret ending that requires numerous optional puzzles to be completed.
-An estimated 3-6 hours of gameplay time across seven chapters. Unless you get stumped at a puzzle, then it's like, an infinite amount of gameplay time.

DEMO:

This game is a classic point and click adventure, so look at everything, talk to everyone, and try to figure out the puzzles! Right click changes your cursor, and the inventory can be found at the top of the screen. In the full game, combining inventory items will be necessary, but in the demo you won't have to worry about it! The demo is the first full chapter of the game, out of seven total.

PROTIP: Talk to your sister Sam on every screen, you never know if she will let you in on some island secrets, or maybe share a funny quip!
