A Glimpse into Cantaloupe Chronicle

Players arrive in the cozy town of Cantaloupe to start their internship at their aunt's newspaper. What begins as a simple learning experience quickly turns into a quest to uncover the secrets of the town's past—including the mysterious case of a body found years ago.

As players collect items, talk to the townsfolk, and solve engaging puzzles, they’ll craft articles using an innovative text editor system. Writing doesn’t feel daunting here—players unlock text blocks from their investigations and insert them into articles with ease. From small-town gossip to the big front-page story, every article brings them closer to the ultimate truth.

About the Developer

Cantaloupe Chronicle is developed by a single developer, me – Tim Rachor. I have been working as a professional Game Designer for over 15 years in the industry and some years ago I decided that I wanted to create my own games in my spare time. This is the third point-and-click adventure I'll release and my 12th game on Steam overall.
