According to a press release we received, a new adventure is in development by Greek hands and the Lost Cabinet Games development team, called Obsidian Moon.
The game in question is a text-based noir adventure, set against the backdrop of the (beloved) 1930s.
We take on the role of Carter, a formerly distinguished police detective now haunted by guilt and loss. As we are called upon to solve interconnected cases based on logic and instinct, we begin to break down psychologically.
Armed with period forensic methods, instinct and limited time, we'll follow clues, question suspects and make tough decisions - that will either lead you to the truth... or to complete disintegration.
"We wanted to create a detective game that gives real freedom to the player, not only to solve the case, but to get lost in it", says Game Director, Yannis Antonakakis.
"The whole design is based on one question: What would happen if all the elements were in front of you, and the only thing keeping you between chaos and order was your mind?"
Inspired by Lovecraftian horror, 1930s noir stories and the chthonic mythologies of the Mediterranean, Obsidian Moon combines narrative with mechanics reminiscent of games like Stacklands, and Cultist Simulator.
