Wildwood Down Build 19456378

Wildwood Down throws you into a cozy-yet-creepy murder mystery set on the lively boardwalk of Wildwood, New Jersey. You play Dan, a friendly high-school senior who happens to have Down syndrome, and who must race to solve a dark conspiracy before it’s too late-his sister’s life depends on it. As he digs deeper, Dan’s unfiltered perspective and humor collide with a parade of eccentric locals, revealing danger hiding beneath the seaside fun.

The lead role is performed by Daniel, a longtime friend of the developer who also has Down syndrome; his warm, funny delivery helps make the character feel authentic and unforgettable. The game blends witty, sometimes absurd puzzle moments (from making donuts to entering underground wrestling matches and getting tossed from bars) with a heartfelt story about friendship, family, and determination.

Visually, Wildwood Down mixes hand-drawn frame-by-frame pixel art with 3D elements and cinematic camera work, backed by a "Surf Rock Noir" score recorded with live instruments and a full cast of voice actors. The result is a rich, atmospheric coastal world with 3D sound design and polished lighting that gives classic point-and-click vibes a fresh look.

- 8-10+ hours of story-driven gameplay
- Full cast of professional voice talent; lead voiced by Daniel
