The Roottrees are Dead PC Steam Altergift

The year is 1998. A private jet belonging to the Roottree Corporation has crashed. On it were the Roottree Sisters and their parents. Combined, they were worth over a billion dollars.

Now, due to the eccentricities of their great-great-grandfather Elias, their money must be redistributed to the rest of the family. But who's actually a BLOOD RELATIVE? That's where you come in.

Armed only with the power of your mighty dial-up modem, you'll scour for photos, books, articles and other evidence. Then, you'll make connections and deductions based on the family relationships you uncover. With every spot on the tree you fill in correctly, the names and photos left in your possession will have fewer and fewer places to go — but the evidence will also be harder and more obscure to find.

Can you put together the final pieces of the puzzle?

• An enhanced user interface with many quality of life improvements to make your mystery solving easier to use and more intuitive
• Remastered music and sound effects, with fully voiced cinematics.
• A handful of Easter eggs and little touches for those who can't get enough of the late ‘90s charm

• Find out what happens to the Roottree family following the events of the base game.
