Parallax - Burgundy Moonlight

The year is 2192. The world is finally recovering from a devastating war, and the Earth’s surface is still pocked with craters where the anti-matter bombs left their mark.  One village, seemingly untouched by the horrors of the conflict, was earmarked for investigation by the UK’s National Institute of History - but all of the researchers they’ve sent have disappeared without trace. Two agents of the Institute, archivist Yolande and her clerk, Ford, are dispatched to find out how the village is so well preserved… and ideally to determine the fate of their colleagues.

Parallax is an in-development point and click adventure game set in the sleepy, abandoned village of Bockhampton, in the UK county of Berkshire. Yolande and Ford, a pair of historians with the re-established government, go there in search of answers to why every one of their colleagues before them went missing upon arrival - and soon discover that Bockhampton is not all it appears.
