Whose Hellos Are These, Anyway?

In this interactive text-based game, players take on the role of an anxious but cynical private investigator hired to unravel the peculiar mystery of a series of bizarre, unsolicited greetings appearing in various places around town. From cryptic postcards to cheerful yet unsettling voice messages, these greetings seem to have a life of their own, provoking strange reactions from the townsfolk. As the player navigates through the whimsically dark narrative, they must piece together a mix of humorous clues, bizarre interactions, and colorful characters who might not be what they seem. Incorporating choices that affect the story's outcome, players explore absurd locations—from the inexplicably vibrant Mirth Circus to the gloomy Umbra Librarium, where the only books are about things that don't exist. Who is sending these hellos? And can our reluctant hero put an end to this madness before the town gets too cheerful for comfort?
