Made for the Odd Premises Competition hosted by Reecer6
Story:The year is 2416. Humanity as we know it has been mostly forgotten, as strange creatures roam the world and attack anyone they encounter.
The people of the town "Safe Haven" are able to keep these creatures at bay with the help of SPELLs - unique supernatural abilities.
A lot of technology has been lost, although scholars have managed to collect and preserve most major breakthroughs in medicine. Some technology has also been made redundant due to SPELLs.
It is in this future that scientist Linus Skye is called to assist the police in a most curious case - a murder outside the safe walls of the town.
The culprit is obvious - or at least it seems that way. Regardless, Linus soon becomes convinced that there has to be more to this case than meets the eye. The fate of the entire town might rest on his shoulders...
Notes:
-Has gameplay. Though while it is fairly AA-like, it may not be exactly the usual due to the premise.
-This is pretty long. Don't expect to finish this in one session. (unless you have 5+ hours of time I guess)
