Story
The Northbury Grove Massacre was an event that occurred in 88 AGW. The game begins and you assume the role of Connor, one of the 4 friends that planned to meet up at the Rock the Warehouse music festival. The only problem is, one of Connor's friends, Grace, never showed up. Connor gathers his bearings and gets ready to head out into the now abandoned festival grounds. Accompanied by Crystal.

Trevor, Crystal's brother and the 4th party member, is waiting for the friends miles up the road at the local King's Comfort motel chain. The plan was for all 3 friends to meet up and head to the motel for an after party where Trevor is waiting, as Grace was one of the lead event organizers and major volunteers of the festival, she was there days before any of the other friends showed up.

The two begin searching all over the festival grounds, initially stumbling upon a seemingly abandoned car. With no danger lurking about, neither Connor or Crystal press the matter.

Later, the two find a party area that seemed as if everyone simply vanished, even leaving all of their belongings behind. This startled both teens badly enough that Crystal began to push the idea of leaving Grace behind and leaving.

The two, now stranded with no way out, decide to see if Grace's car is still around. They discover the parking zone has been locked and chained off. The forest begins to grow quiet. No vehicles have come by in hours, and although the situation is dire, Connor nor Crystal are boisterous enough to steal a vehicle, so they deduce the only way to leave is to find something to break the lock and find Grace's car.

After finding the now abandoned Al-Kanan Industries factory in Specter Forest, Connor crawls through a small gap in the entryway, bumping it and sealing it shut behind him. With no way to go back, and Crystal managing to offer to "look out" for any trouble, Connor heads inside the building.

Moments later, Connor is startled by a loud slam of the front door of the factory, and hears footsteps approaching. Connor comes face to face with The Slasher. Connor defies death and manages to escape the facility after finding bolt cutters to cut the parking fence, only to find Crystal is nowhere to be found.

Connor, realizing Crystal has Grace's car keys, attempts to find her. After searching, he finds Crystal gutted and long-dead. Connor shares a moment with his now departed friend, grabs the keys and leaves in a rush to escape.

The only problem is, Connor is not exactly sure what Grace's car looks like. In a rushed attempt to try each car with the keys, he sets off various car alarms, sending The Slasher in a frenzied rush over to him.

Connor manages to escape with Grace's vehicle, leaving his friends behind, in a rush to get to the other friend in their group Trevor and get help.

Gameplay
Northbury Grove is a surival/horror walking sim. It features light interaction, some puzzle solving, minor RNG elements and a crazed slasher that runs at you.
