Released Mar 2018
Your first case as a detective is forcing you to open your eyes to a world bigger than you thought. Or maybe it's better to keep them closed. Seems the supernatural didn’t get the memo that nothing exciting ever happens in the little town of Wayhaven.

Evaluation
Wayhaven Chronicles: Book One is an interactive fiction novel that launched on March 8, 2018. The store description and title make clear this is a standalone "Book One" — a self-contained first entry in a planned series. As an individual book in a series, it launched as a complete, finished product. There is no post-launch DLC, no update history, and no developer communication indicating additional content is planned for this specific title. Subsequent entries in the Wayhaven Chronicles series (Book Two, Book Three, etc.) are separate products, not additions to this one. Book One is complete as shipped.
