The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham invites you to step into a desert-noir detective adventure steeped in the supernatural. Explore the Alpine Movie Manor Hotel and Drive-In, piece together clues, solve the mystery of a mass vanishing, and unravel a tangled web of deceit that involves Sara and the other guests and staff of the hotel.

But Lilith is not alone. She discovers a mystical Film Reel imprinted with a strange motion picture called The City of Dreams. Whoever is in possession of the Film Reel can tear through the fabric of reality and restitch it, altering the lives of those ensnared by its power along with the hotel itself. With the looming presence of a strange and enigmatic entity called The Host and a malevolent specter that wants the Film Reel for herself, you’ll have to be smart and make hard decisions to develop your own Final Cut of the film.
