Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove, Sacred Grove

Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove, Sacred Grove
Developer: Elephant Games Publisher: Big Fish Games Platform: Windows Released in US: November 25, 2014 This game has debugging material.

Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove, Sacred Grove is the eleventh in the series, and the second (and last) game made by Elephant Games. This time, the Master Detective is sent back to Dire Grove to investigate the sudden temperature drop (again), except this time some guy stealing a deer is the reason why.
This entry is notable for the idea of evidence to collect to continue the story and choosing the Master Detective's gender before the start of the game, possibly to finally put an end to the age-old debacle.

Debug Keys

Like its predecessor, Dire Grove, Sacred Grove has some debug keys, accessible by creating a profile with the non case-sensitive name of Cheater.

Oddities

The Mistwalker Camp is strangely called rm_carpark internally. There's nothing like a car park in the game at all. For comparision, the Garage is called rm_garage.
