Wildwood Down is an indie point-and-click adventure game created by Crashable Studios, a two-brother development team based in the United States (you can read AMO’s recent interview with studio co-owner Micah Orsie here). Inspired by a beach trip to Wildwood, New Jersey, the game stars their childhood friend Daniel, who has Down syndrome, a wonderful sense of humour and a love of video games – making him the perfect protagonist for this comedic feel-good murder mystery.
