When a washed-up actor hangs himself on location, a spotlight is cast on the backwater Florida town of Cypress Knee. Your screen becomes a stage on which you investigate this mysterious death as three distinct characters.
The game frames itself as a stage play, with the player acting as a director overseeing the events. The environments shift and transform like moving sets, heightening the sense of watching a live performance unfold. This novel visual style creates an immersive, theatrical atmosphere.
Players control three distinct characters - a blogger, a reporter, and a private investigator - and their dialogue choices directly shape the investigation into the mysterious death of an actor. These choices have meaningful consequences, affecting how other characters react and the overall direction of the story.
Unlike traditional adventure games, the gameplay primarily revolves around selecting dialogue options to propel the narrative forward. This streamlined approach keeps players immersed in the unfolding mystery without getting bogged down in inventory puzzles or other typical adventure game mechanics.
One unique gameplay element is the ability to publish blog posts about the case. After key events, players can choose what information to share and what stance to take in the blog. This affects how other characters respond, adding an extra layer of consequence to the choices made.
The game's presentation is deliberately paced like a live performance, with smooth transitions between scenes and settings. The transforming sets and well-written dialogue, coupled with strong voice acting, maintain a engaging, theatrical rhythm throughout the experience.
