Your Love Life

While unravelling what is going on in Shale Hill, you’ll interact with girls that have their own mysteries.

Your friendship with them will grow and may even evolve into something else. It’s up to you: dedicate yourself to one person or be the player and spread the love around. It's your choice.

The people of Shale Hill

Leah

You have a special relationship with Leah, who has been supportive of you your entire life. Gentle on the outside, but unflinching and spirited within, she is a stubborn journalism student who will do anything to reveal to the world the dark truth of Shale Hill.

Sam

You and Sam came from opposite ends of your old school’s pecking order, now by a twist of fate your best friend. Your quirky, distractible friend seems uncharacteristically melancholy. What is going on?

Emily

Objectivity and a total focus on success are the main characteristics of Emily. She isn't afraid to make tough decisions, even if this means messing up her relationships with other people. You’d know. You’re her ex.

Valerie

Valerie, Student Council President in college as well as your old highschool, still considers you her protege even after you gave it all up. She seems to have a great deal of faith in you, though you can never tell whether she’s joking or flirting.

Haley

Blue hair that shows an adorable defiance. That’s Haley, a lovely bartender who has dreams way bigger than being behind a counter for the rest of her life. She has a good ear for others' problems but no taste for sharing her own.

Maggie

Maggie prefers dealing with animals to people, but over time, she has come to trust you. Now, this pretty redhead will need to deal with a past that has left her nervous and silent.

Lidia

The impeccable and refined owner of the campus café, Lidia is a well travelled connoisseur of everything that can be roasted and brewed. But in her travels, she’s brought problems back with her.

Alexis

As Shale Hill’s resident mean girl, Alexis takes her popularity for granted, but she’s not as simple as she seems. Alexis also considers herself an entrepreneur, and seems undeterred that her business of choice is highly unethical.

Linus

Your colleague and workmate, Linus can be both a comrade and an annoying smug asshole, usually both at the same time. He’s an unrepentant geek and much more comfortable in the tech world than you are.

Dante

Dante is the ultimate paradoxical Bohemian. A weird mix of party freak and dependable role model, he’s a hard man to describe, and you don’t really know him unless you meet him. He dispenses cocktails and wisdom with equal flare, and has his ear to the ground in Shale Hill’s party scene.

Toasterman

Homeless man or superhero? The answer depends on whether you ask him or anyone else. One thing is for sure, he does have detective instincts that you don’t have. It’s wise to listen to what he has to say.

This installment of Shale Hill Secrets contains the first five episodes of our story. Within these episodes you can look forward to more than eight hours of gameplay filled with lots of suspense, investigation and, of course, some fun as well - if you know what we mean...
