The freshly painted, colorful facades of the small market town of Wildon cannot hide the fact that there is a dark secret about the place. Behind the walls and in the dusty interiors, behind the scenes of normality, reality ends. A second Wildon, fallen out of space and time, a shady dimension, is pushing its way into the light with all its might. People are disappearing, a promise has been broken, screams are coming from the forest.

After suffering from memory loss for several years, emigrated Mary K. Wild wants to remember who she used to be and hires the dubious private detective Bill Hackley. His research trip takes him right into the dark heart of Wildon. After his arrival, the shadows of the past dance there one last time and hold many a puzzle that needs to be solved.

This trip through the place lasts two hours and alternates between reality, science fiction, mystery and radio play.

The performance game is accompanied by mysterious calls, text messages and clues, opens the doors to spooky buildings, leads you down dangerous wrong paths and offers mysterious encounters. The visitors, acting in small groups, investigate mysterious rooms, have to complete tasks and make decisions that significantly influence the course of the story.

In this game, machina eX combines mobile communications with radio play, SMS with text adventure and guides you through 4 different locations that you have to break into in order to solve puzzles and find clues in the usual machina eX style.
