A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Taking inspiration from point and click adventures of the 80s/90s, The Cover Up is a 2.5D game where you play as John Agent, tasked by a shady government agency to stop the spread of information about aliens in a small town called Oak Grove. 

Talk to the residents of this strange town and figure out who knows about aliens, and find out the correct sequence of events will stop them from talking about extra terrestrial activity, but be careful, because the wrong dialogue options will cause the awareness meter to rise. 

Stop the spread of information before it can no longer be contained locally.


Originally developed in 2 weeks for the @PirateSoftware game jam of January 2024

Great entry. There were a few things but for the most part, very polished. 

The show stealer for this was the location specific music. Banging job on all the music. The dinner track was probably my favorite.

Over all a real solid entry. 

Glad you liked it! Yeah, our musician pokefraker killed it with the music.
