Haarlight

Haarlight is a solo journaling game of mystery, truth and discovery.

You take the role of a young adult in modern-day Edinburgh, using your journal to track your thoughts, feelings and emotions as you attempt to discover the truth behind the haar - the mysterious sea fog that is roaming the city.

Sometimes the haar takes things. Sometimes it leaves things behind.

You will write to find out what it all means.
