What is Mint's Hints?

This free, single-player horror adventure follows a former showrunner abducted back to a canceled show's studio. You explore dark corridors, solve puzzles, use ghost-detecting flashlights to find paw-shaped clues, and evade the show's characters while investigating its cancellation. A typical playthrough takes about half an hour.
