Unforeseen Incidents

Harper Pendrell is a small-town handyman who encounters a dying woman as an unknown disease spreads. Her message draws him into an investigation alongside a reporter, a scientist, and others, as he seeks the truth behind the crisis.

Explore locations, inspect objects, talk with characters, and gather items and clues. Solve puzzles by using or combining inventory items, applying Harper’s multi-tool, and following leads through conversations.

The investigation moves through chapters and varied settings, with puzzles tied to the places Harper visits and the evidence he uncovers. The game presents its story through hand-painted 2D scenes, character dialogue, and English or German voice acting.

Players who enjoyed the game often point to its distinctive hand-drawn art, atmospheric presentation, voice acting, and witty dialogue and characters. Many also praise the mystery and puzzles, though opinions differ on puzzle logic and difficulty: some find the solutions satisfying, while others report getting stuck or doing too much backtracking. Several players felt the ending was rushed, and some encountered bugs.
