Bob is a young man that lives with his mother in Similar Mountains, a quiet little town in the USA. Nancy, his goth girlfriend, mysteriously disappears the day of her birthday, so Bob tonight decides to investigate her disappearance. With some help from Kevin, a weird but nice childhood friend, and Lola, an acquaintance of Nancy's, he will explore town getting involved in many different situations to uncover the truth about what happened to the missing girl.
Similar Mountains is the spiritual sequel of Mystery Falls: while agent David Parker is back after the event of the first game, this is a totally stand alone adventure. The game is still an open world mystery adventure with some action, playable arcade games and shooting sequences, but this time the custom graphics uses a different style that reminds of some old classic videogames such as Maniac Mansion and Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The adventure has different possible endings.
WARNING: the game unlike the first contains some adult scenes and moments (even if it's all on the pixelated level, nothing more!).

Random Fact: besides David Parker, the game includes several cameos of various characters: Syd from Maniac Mansion, The little man from Twin Peaks, Enrico Pucci and other characters from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures, and there are also references to the X-Files, Twin Peaks, Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid. There are also some collectibles actions figures from other games like Mystery Falls or FF7 Before Crisis.
Final Verdict: a big improvement if compared to Mystery Falls, but quite similar if we speak about the gameplay. The intro is very cool, and so is the graphic style used. A really unique adventure game.
