About this game

VALLEY is a futuristic first-person crime solving thriller where the player controls multiple characters in the hunt for a serial killer.

In 1986, California was terrorized by the infamous “Valley Butcher"; the man who murdered tech entrepreneurs in a statement against the rapid rise of technology. 50 years later, the murders are happening again.

Step into the shoes of a variety of characters embroiled in the killings and help bring the investigation to a close, one way or another.

  • Investigate and stop the copycat Valley Butcher.

  • Interrogate suspects and follow up leads.

  • Survive the horrors of being held captive.
