A Boundary Pushing Narrative

See how the medium of video games can push narratives in places unexpected. Become the detective, figure out where K_____ is, see how your choices matter, and play with all the interesting mechanics which tie with each other thematically to create ludonarrative resonance.

Rewind Any Decision

What better way to solve a mystery than being able to rewind your actions and witness what could have been if you had asked that question instead of the one you chose? Our rewind system is fully integrated and lets you rewind as long as you want in order to see how the consequences of your actions play out differently. Not happy with an outcome? Rewind and see how the consequences change.

Fast Forward Through the Time Loop

Conversely, being stuck in a time loop can be tedious. Control the flow of time and fast forward to critical moments of the game in order to see the butterfly effect of your actions. Become a time lord.

Personas

No one really knows anyone do they? The way you think about yourself will never be the same as how a stranger views you, or your best friend, or your parents. Perhaps we are a multitude of individuals living as one. Develop your detective persona as you listen to a particular voice inside your head to help crack the mystery. Level them up & unlock more opportunities to interact with the world.
