There are quite a few detective games coming out of late; what with Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express out today, but how many cover 1970s France? Chronique des Silencieux does, and a demo is now available.
You play Eugène Faury, a rookie private eye hired to solve the strange case of Victor Dousvalon – an old history professor with a life shrouded in secrecy. In the demo, you’ll play the game’s opening, where Eugène is thrown head-first into the peculiar case.
Key features include:
- Anything Goes to Break the Silence! Become engrossed in the handy work of a detective: search through family papers, ask probing questions, call at inopportune times and well, be generally nosy.
- Head First Investigation. No more watching characters think for you, this is the time to prove your deductive powers. Choose your leads and follow them to the end or stop when you think you’ve cracked the case. Remember, you’ll need to be convincing to push the silent ones to talk.
- People’s History. Piece together the lives, the choices and the tragedies of the people you meet, and walk a mile in their shoes. Discover rich histories from street-level where folk continue to live and cope, each in their own unique way.
