Set in a quirky logging town where every resident has a secret, players step into the shoes of Max Timberwood, a snarky investigative reporter armed with a penchant for mischief and a unique ability to read the thoughts of inanimate objects. The townspeople are in an uproar after a series of large logs mysteriously disappear from the local mill. As Max, players must navigate through a series of eccentric characters and their dubious alibis, uncovering bizarre stories behind each log and piecing together the strange events affecting Lumberville. Interact with the logs themselves, who narrate their own comedic yet dramatic tales, all while making choices that affect the outcome, leading to a multitude of bizarre endings. Special mechanics allow players to unravel truths or spin elaborate tales to divert suspicion, ensuring no path is straightforward.
