Cards 2026 card mystery
Hillthorn is a dialogue-free card mystery set in the mountain village of Mount Hillthorn. Fool Moon and Finnegan Motors made it. Raw Fury published it on 10 November 2026 for Windows, macOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android.
You play a detective hired by Abigail to find her missing daughter Olivia. People, places, and clues are cards. Two cards make an action, every action spends the day, and midnight throws you back while the knowledge stays.
Hillthorn is a 2026 video game, not Hillthorn Business Park in Sunderland.

Where to start
If you want to try it before paying, use the Steam demo guide. If you already own a copy, the full walkthrough follows the day from Abigail's office through the village, Jeremiah's house, the quarry, the manor, and the cave. Stuck on one object? The puzzle list has the flimsy door, the trunk, both direction clues, the wall, and the matchbox.
How a turn works
The desk has an action slot and a subject slot. Talk, Investigate, and Explore are the three verbs. Rock Paper Shotgun compared the loop to Cultist Simulator and The Horror at Highrook. GameSpew described the same two-slot desk. I treat those two write-ups as the public description of the controls, and the card list names the items those reviews do not.
