Set within a cosy and eye-catching recreation of '70's France, Chronique des Silencieux sees players step into the shoes of Eugène Faury, a rookie private eye investigating the peculiar case of Victor Dousvalon - a stubborn old history professor who shrouded his life in secrecy.
Players will need a keen eye and sharp mind to solve this delicate mystery, as they are thrown headfirst into the case; meeting a colourful cast of characters whom they must diligently question in an attempt to sort fact from fiction.
Throughout their investigation, players will experience hands-on, tactile investigative mechanics, rewarding open-ended questioning and challenging, deductive puzzling that combine to deliver a richly compelling narrative experience. Only by following the right leads, digging through secret documents and investigating decades old lies, will the truth finally come to light.
Features of Chronique des Silencieux include:
- Anything Goes to Break the Silence! Become engrossed in the handy work of a detective: search through family papers, ask probing questions, call at inopportune times and well, be generally nosy.
- Head First Investigation. No more watching characters think for you, this is the time to prove your deductive powers. Choose your leads and follow them to the end or stop when you think you've cracked the case. Remember, you'll need to be convincing to push the silent ones to talk.
- People's History. Piece together the lives, the choices and the tragedies of the people you meet, and walk a mile in their shoes. Discover rich histories from street-level where folk continue to live and cope, each in their own unique way.
