'Hill Agency: PURITYdecay' Needs More Polishing, Gets Delayed Until Further Notice

by Rainier on Aug. 2, 2022 @ 7:00 a.m. PDT

Hill Agency: PURITYdecay is a narrative-driven, exploration heavy, detective game.

When you are on a case, the game won’t solve the mystery for you, it won’t even tell you if you are on the right path. You must sharpen your senses and follow your instincts. Explore your surroundings to uncover clues, interview witnesses, devise potential suspects by analyzing your findings, and then make you accusations.

In Hill Agency’s futuristic timeline, society has re-shaped itself into two distinct groups. The working class who make a living on The Ground, and the privileged Elites who look down on them from the towering balconies of The Risen City up above. Those in The Risen City live in a technological paradise, devoid of concerns and enjoying a life of untethered freedom. Or so they are led to believe.

Your story begins on The Ground, in the neon-lit city of Akâmaskiy, where the urban skyline is peppered with brightly colored publicity in Cree language. You will step into the shoes of Meygeen Hill, a tracker by family trade, but detective by choice. Follow her as she unravels the many mysteries of her Indigenous metropolis and unearths the secret threads that link The Risen City and Akâmaskiy. 

Be wary, however, when a mysterious dame from the upper districts comes knocking on your door with a seemingly straightforward case, your life will change forever.

Originally planned for August 31, 2022, Hill Agency: PURITYdecay developer Achimostawinan Games announced that it is delaying the launch until further notice.

"Achimostawinan Games is very grateful for the patience and support of its wonderful player base! For the past few years, the team has been hard at work aiming to deliver a game of the highest quality, infused with the richness of Ontario’s Indigenous communities. However, a game like this requires a lot of attention to detail, which ultimately translates to additional time making sure everything fits in the right place.

In a conscious effort not to compromise the game experience by rushing to a deadline, and with the clear objective of avoiding any form of crunch time, to ensure the team can continue to work in a safe and healthy manner, the decision was made to push the release date for Hill Agency: PURITYdecay.

This additional time will be spent polishing the game and making sure that it lives up to the community’s expectations. An exact release date will not be shared at this time, but we will make sure to update with revised timing in the near future.

Once again, Achimostawinan Games appreciates the passion of everyone in the community who have been following Hill Agency and the team’s progress. We can’t wait to experience this mystery-filled whodunit with you."

Key Features:

  • A unique take on Indigenous futurism
  • Deeply involved narrative
  • Unguided approach to detective work
  • Memorable cybernoir aesthetic with a soundtrack to match

Hill Agency: PURITYdecay is in development for PC (Steam).
