What is the game about?
The game is a mystery adventure. You are investigating what happened during a span of time through a series of interrogations. All of these interrogations you experience as gameplay flashbacks during which you will play as the interrogated person.
A brief introduction to the beginning of the game.
What platforms will the game be released on?
If I get it completed, it will be on PC, Mac, iOS, Apple TV, Android for sure!
Gamepad support will also be added early on to support possible console ports (ps, xbox, switch) as it will inform design decisions.
