🔦 This time, I decided to create a detective mystery that you can actually solve.

The Hour Between Tides

An original interactive mystery

🌊 Begin the investigation

It is 4:19 a.m.

A lighthouse on a remote island has stopped illuminating the sea. Instead, its beam is flashing strange signals toward the cliffs.

The lighthouse keeper has vanished.

The tide is falling.

You have twenty-three minutes to discover what happened.

I created a playable investigation in which you examine physical evidence, decipher a flashing message, consult maritime charts, and follow clues to an unexpected discovery.

There's a detective's notebook, an audible signal, optional hints, and three possible endings, including one that requires a little extra ingenuity.

I tested the puzzles and interactions in a browser, including the mobile layout. The game works offline and saves your progress locally.

I won't reveal what's waiting at the end.

One small piece of advice: investigate everything before making your final decision. 🌙
