What Makes SideEye High Different
Point-and-click adventure games have always had charm. Quirky characters, bizarre puzzles, and dialogue trees that spiral into absurdity. But the whimsy got old, and the punchlines didn’t grow up. The genre got stuck in a loop: slapstick logic, endless item combinations, and jokes that feel like they were written by someone trying really hard to sound clever. Even modern entries, while technically polished, often lean too far into irony or nostalgia to say anything real.
SideEye High: point and click tales of horror is a response to that.
This is a game that respects the intelligence and adulthood of its audience. It keeps the tactile joy of classic point-and-click games but ditches the nonsense. You’re not combining rubber chickens with pulleys. You’re investigating suspicious deaths in a 1990s high school under the guise of a safety audit. Every interaction makes sense. Every clue matters. The humor is dry, dark, and unsettling. Less "lol" and more "did they really just go there?"
You can zoom in to read a student’s crumpled note. Zoom through a locker to see what’s stashed behind it. Inspect every tile, every outlet, every screw. If it’s drawn, it can be searched. No sparkles, no shortcuts. This is investigative gameplay turned obsessive, designed for players who don’t just want to play the story but prove it.
Every action in SideEye High costs time. Inspect a note? Time passes. Open a locker? Time passes. Ask the wrong question? You just lost your shot at something better. Once the school week ends, so does the investigation, ready or not.
You can’t inspect everything.
You won’t uncover it all.
And you will have to choose what’s worth your attention.
SideEye High isn’t about seeing everything. It’s about seeing enough.
There’s one main mystery to solve, but around 50 false endings to uncover. Each playthrough is a unique descent into different angles of suspicion, paranoia, or clarity. And no matter what choices you make, the week plays out. There are no early deaths. No restarts. Just the consequences of your investigation.
SideEye High is for those who grew up loving adventure games and are ready for one that grew up with them.

There’s a central case. But around it? Dozens of false endings, side mysteries, and dead ends that all feel just convincing enough. You’ll finish the week no matter what, but what you think happened is up to what you found (or missed).
