BlackoutCity: Island Cove

Detective work on Island Cove

BlackoutCity: Island Cove is a PC detective investigation game set on a Gulf Coast island. You play the town detective, looking into a blackout that the power company blames on a storm, though there wasn’t one. As power failures continue and strange incidents accumulate, you investigate whether the problems connect to something larger.

The island’s cases range from everyday small-town problems to suspicious incidents. You examine evidence, find documents, follow leads and keep track of discoveries in a case file. Clues can turn up in homes and businesses, but also in conversations at the diner or on the local radio station.
