In the industrial port city of New Bretagne, former police detective Miles Fordham works as a private investigator. As he takes on clients’ cases, he also pursues the killer of his former partner, whose voice continues to speak to him.
Investigate crime scenes and locations, question witnesses and suspects, and gather clues and documents in a casebook. The single-click interface has no traditional inventory; discoveries inform your conversations and investigations.
The story spans five cases with multiple suspects, false leads, and possible outcomes. Your choices can affect characters’ attitudes and how cases turn out, including accusing the wrong person or moving on when a case cannot be solved. The cases connect to an unfolding story shaped by your decisions.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the connected mysteries, the setting and atmosphere, the voice acting, and the sense that choices can meaningfully affect investigations. Some also appreciate the dialogue-focused approach and the option to leave a case unsolved. Others find the game light on traditional puzzles, and some report that dialogue choices can block progress; the dead partner’s frequent commentary is divisive.
