The Capstone Project, Your Friend, Sam, is a narrative driven exploration game that uses puzzles and combat to engage players.


You had almost forgotten about Ridgemont, that was, until a mysterious letter appeared in your mailbox, signed by a boy you believed to have gone missing 9 years ago. You decide to go back to where it all went down, and solve the mystery of Sam’s disappearance.
