Description

In Augusta’s Home For Wayward Girls, you play a burned-out private detective who leaves a failing business behind after inheriting a house from an estranged aunt on the coast of New England. Your destination is Primrose, a charming yet distinctly strange town populated by an unusual cast of characters. What begins as a retreat from your old life becomes something far more complicated when you discover that your aunt operated a charitable safehouse unlike any other—and that you now have the opportunity to reopen it. As you uncover more about your aunt’s life and your own identity, you’ll get to know the townspeople, form friendships, and meet a number of beautiful, somewhat eccentric love interests. Each unfolding mystery draws you further into the darker secrets of this fictional peninsula. Alongside the questions of whom you can trust and whom you might fall for comes a substantial responsibility: deciding how to handle life as the director of Augusta’s Home for Wayward Girls. Staying alive is another concern you would do well not to overlook. Blending an adult visual novel with supernatural horror and religious and philosophical exploration, the game balances its unsettling mysteries with comedy, heart, and quirkiness. Although rooted in coastal New England, Primrose deliberately belongs to no specific state. That lack of a familiar location reinforces its peculiar atmosphere: a town that feels as though it doesn’t quite belong anywhere.
