The Hanging at Waiomoko Road

The Hanging at Waiomoko is a game prototype developed with funding from the New Zealand Film Commission. When a body is found hanging from a street lamp in the quiet coastal town of Waiomoko, an out of town detective seeking answers embarks on a winding odyssey into the unknown.

Drawing from a combination of Silent Hill, Twin Peaks, Cormac Mccarthy, Film Noir and New Zealand history and pop culture, The Hanging at Waiomoko Road is intended to be a trip into the unknown and a portrait of New Zealand. The town a mixing pot of cultures, a snapshot of different eras of New Zealands past and present reflecting the various facets of its history, both the good and the bad.
