You'll start your investigation in the real world, exploring the crime scene and gathering as much information as you can before you step into the last memories of the victim, where things get a little bit more abstract.

The developers also promise "A multi-layer narrative that spirals into a complex web of real-world intrigue as surreal suspense."
