Diane Carter never expected her folklore degree to get her a job offer from the local police department, but when a rash of occult-themed fires sets the city on edge, she is called in as a special consultant on esoteric religion to help find the culprit.
There's just one problem: the woman she's assigned to work with. She's cocky, beautiful, and ''far'' too familiar.
Can Diane and Jackie overcome the obstacles of their past and find the truth?
A [[YuriGenre Yuri]] VisualNovel with some minor PointAndClickGame elements, released by Creator/HanakoGames in early 2022. The game is set in the 1980s (though a slightly spookier version) and features two adult protagonists.

!! ''Night Cascades'' contains examples of:
* EightiesHair: Most notably Alex's mullet.
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The protagonist viewpoint switches back and forth between Diane and Jackie every time the day changes. There's no indication of this the first time it happens, so it may take the player a minute to catch on.
* BookBurning: Happened to Ann and Mary, because the books they read were considered "sinful".
* [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim Break Her Heart To Save Her]]: [[spoiler: Jackie's reasoning for breaking up with Diane the first time around.]]
* ClingyMacGuffin: The mysterious amulet keeps finding its way into the hands of people who swear they don't even remember picking it up.
* ClosetGay: Both Jackie and Diane, to different extents.
* DaChief: Jackie's boss, who appears to be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and a good dad. However, because of the time period, Jackie is still in the closet at work and doesn't trust him with the truth.
* DeepSouth: A downplayed version. The story is clearly set in the South, and there are references to the Bible Belt's religious and moral standards and the problems they cause for the protagonists, but there are no stereotyped yokels to be seen.
* ExperimentedInCollege: What Jackie thinks their relationship was to Diane.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Both of them, but especially Jackie in the past, who didn't believe she was good enough for a relationship with a NiceGirl like Diane.
* MistakenForCheating: [[spoiler: Actually, she was just blackout drunk, but allowed her partner to believe that she'd cheated in order to [[PleaseDumpMe cause a breakup]].]]
* NewAge: Not in the sense of representing an ideal New Age society, but the prominence of New Age beliefs (even more so than in the real 80s) is an important part of the setting. Police departments hire psychics to help them solve crimes, mystical crystals are on sale everywhere, and having good vibes affects your insurance. However, with society generally believing that mystical powers are real, they also believe in the ''bad'' kind of mystical powers...
* PenName: Diane publishes novels under a different name, both to sound more British and to avoid damaging her squeaky-clean schoolteacher reputation.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: The authorities fear that this sort of character is behind the fires as problems escalate.
* SatanicPanic: The dark side of the New Age. Once word gets out that there are mysterious fires being set with occult symbols, people quickly begin imagining Satanic cults sacrificing children and start looking for witches to blame.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Just what was going on with that amulet?]]
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Jackie protests this when the music store employee accuses her of trying to impress Diane.
* TheyFightCrime: One's a substitute teacher who writes fantasy novels! One's a cop from the wrong side of the tracks!
* UnresolvedSexualTension: From the moment they lay eyes on each other.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Jackie and Diane are assigned to investigate a crime together.
