What is Karisvale?
Karisvale is a single-player, top-down adventure about detective Shaymus O'Malley's search for a missing resident at the mayor's request. You explore the town, question residents through branching dialogue, and solve puzzles. The story unfolds nonlinearly, leaving you to piece together what is happening.
