In a world full of bizarre characters who greet each other with confusing phrases, your task is to uncover the truth behind a series of disappearances linked to an enigmatic figure known only as The Salutation. As you navigate the quirky landscape, decipher odd communications, and unravel the bizarre lore of the city's history, you'll encounter eccentric allies and baffling foes, each with their own interpretations of 'hello.' Your choices influence the unfolding narrative, leading to multiple endings based on the relationships you build and the secrets you uncover.
