Orson, P.I. is just about ready for his close up! On February 23, you'll be able to enter the Grand Hotel and take control of our adorable cub detective.
The demo takes you to the second floor, home of the Fitzgerald Follies. There, Orson meets the troupe’s coach and two performers. One is a seasoned veteran, the other a newcomer. Also living on the second floor is the daughter of a Southern magnate, “exiled” to Chicago after clashing with her family, along with a chaperone struggling to keep her in line.
After completing character profiles, Orson is ready to decide which two of the five suspects are part of the conspiracy. You will answer a series of multiple-choice prompts and work to remove the three innocent parties from the list of suspects. With that done, only the two culprits will remain on the list of suspects. This trial happens in the “Psyche,” a visual representation of Orson’s thought process. Each room presents a question across its walls, with three doors offering possible answers. Choose correctly to advance in the gauntlet.
The demo runs a minimum of 30 minutes. If you explore every dialogue branch, you'll have a much longer playtime. It also includes an opening cutscene and tutorial. The full game will offer five more chapters, each longer than the chapter featured in the demo.
Stay tuned for more announcements.
