Press reviews: “Simply one of the best narrative adventure games I’ve played all year, enhanced by fantastic voice acting, well-written dialogue, and an exciting and intriguing story.” 9/10 – GamePitt “If you like tense mysteries and slow-burning thrillers, Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View really ought to be high on your most-wanted list” 9/10 – GameSpew “As Catherine suggests, you can try to pretend your actions don’t affect other people, but there is always a cost, and I would wholeheartedly recommend that any murder mystery buff find out exactly what those costs are for Dahlia View.” Rock Paper Shotgun 

Notes: Game is based around child abduction. Speculation on the fate of the child at various points, which could be considered mature. Some shown violence but also some implied that is not shown. Some implied sexual references but not directly discussed or shown. There is the presence of smoking and cigarettes, as well as an explorable pub and so the presence of alcohol. Presence of prescription drugs but not used by the player.
