The Talone Tree

What does it mean to be part of the Talone family? You're the last alive in the family and its time to investigate the truth behind your grandparent's huge estate. 

note: there are some audio desyncs in browser mode. Sorry about that. The controls are clicking and pressing E or Q. Usually higher up objects can be clicked on like the fuse box or the painting!

PUZZLES

Small puzzles unfold as you explore the Talone manor leading you down unexpected paths and meeting unlikely allies. As you progress, you'll receive less and less hints as to what to do. To discover the secrets laid to rest here, you must have a keen eye!

DYNAMIC MUSIC

As you explore, the music will change to better fit the environment you're in. 

A SHORT STORY

The game follows Norbert Oswald Talone (N.O. Talone for short). Upon inheriting your grandparent's property, things quickly start going wrong and a puzzle begins to unfold. Discover what you can, and be ready for the consequences.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Please do not try to place objects outside the map, you will have to start again!

If you get stuck, consider what dialogues you've seen thusfar. Something about a sink? Maybe you need a wrench. Need to reach the attic? Yellow light shines through instead of blue! Looking for a green book? Watch the TV!
