Acosy detective adventure? Don’t get settled just yet, as you’ll still need access to your sleuth skills in the upcoming game Chronique des Silencieux, which will be available on Steam later this month.
Created by Pierre Feuille Studio, the story takes place in 1970s France in the shoes of rookie detective Eugene Faury. They are investigating the peculiar case of history professor Victor Dousvalon, meeting a colourful cast of characters, and following the correct leads to bring the truth to light.
Chronique des Silencieux is described as a ‘compelling historical narrative, eye-catching illustrated aesthetic and highly evocative soundtrack inspired by classic cinema, Giallo mystery and crime thrillers
‘. Here’s a list of the features:
- 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.
Chronique des Silencieux will be available from the 29th of January 2024, priced at $24.99 on Steam, with Mac and Linux support. Additional storefronts will be updated in the coming weeks.
