1980s investigate-'em-up The Occupation is hitting PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on October 9, developer White Paper Games has announced.
If brick-and-mortar retail isn't your thing, then you can also snap up a digital version of the game via the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, and Steam on the same day.
Powered by Unreal Engine 4, The Occupation takes place over a four-hour period on October 24, 1987. As a journalist, your task is to investigate The Union Act, which was cobbled together by the British government after a terrorist attack left 24 people dead.
Intriguingly, The Occupation has you fighting against the clock; time doesn't stop, so if you end up being chucked in a security office after being caught out, any time spent there will cost your main adventure.
'We’re delighted to be bringing The Occupation to physical retail later this year,' said Sold Out's Sarah Hoeksma. 'It’s one of those games which grips you from the moment you start. The fact that it’s real-time is a fantastic point of difference leading to a captivating experience unlike anything else this year.'
'Partnering with Sold Out has been a huge opportunity for us to let even more players around the world experience our work,' commented White Paper Games' Co-Founder and Designer, Pete Bottomley. '
'It’s been a long journey and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved considering we’re still a small team. We can’t wait to see how people resonate with The Occupation and we’re even more excited now that we have a release date!'
