It Could Happen to You

About

It Could Happen to You is a point-and-click adventure where a quiet vacation goes sideways. You play as a tourist in a remote village when mysterious lights appear in the sky and shadowy figures begin abducting locals. The game tasks you with piecing together clues through dialogue, object interactions, and environmental exploration. Choices you make influence how the story unfolds, leading to multiple endings. The hand-drawn visuals lean into a distinct, slightly surreal aesthetic with muted colors and exaggerated character designs that contrast with the growing tension in the world. The game’s strength lies in its reactive narrative and eerie atmosphere. Every decision creates ripples, shifting relationships and altering the fate of characters. The art style, while simple, effectively builds unease through sparse backgrounds and unsettling details like flickering lights or sudden camera angles. While it doesn’t break new ground in the genre, it executes its formula with enough personality to stand out among similar titles. The 6-hour runtime is tight, leaving little fat but also few lingering questions.
