In Cedar Hills, the violent legacy of killer Frank Stone connects a group of young friends and their families across different eras. The story moves between the past, when teenagers set out to make a horror film at an abandoned steel mill, and the present, where people connected to that film are drawn to a mysterious manor.
Play as different characters while exploring locations, talking with others, and finding clues and collectibles. Choices shape relationships and can affect character fates. Puzzles and timed skill checks break up the exploration, while a camera and generator-repair sequences bring in mechanics associated with Dead by Daylight.
The story branches according to decisions made along the way, with different routes and outcomes to discover. After a playthrough, a chapter and choice overview lets you revisit parts of the story and explore alternate paths.
The supplied reviews are divided. Players who enjoy the game often praise its Dead by Daylight references, collectibles, atmosphere, and branching routes, with some finding its story engaging even without prior knowledge of that series. Others describe the plot as confusing or slow, question how much choices affect the outcome, and report performance problems and awkward animations.
