The Long Reach, developed by Merge Games, is a horror-thriller adventure game set in the present-day fictional town of Baervox, New Hampshire. The game draws inspiration from Lone Survivor and The Cave, presenting a classic adventure game inventory filled with keys and weird stuff. The game's stunning pixel art is misused to create gruesome and unsettling images that screw with your perception of things.

You play as Calvin, a character surrounded by lies and deception. However, you won't be forced to figure everything out, and you can escape if you wish - in fact, the game encourages you to run for your life! The puzzles in The Long Reach require you to think outside the box, and the game provides you with a chance to talk with plenty of characters. The haunting and original soundtrack adds to the game's atmosphere, making it an excellent horror-thriller game.
