History

I love crime dramas. I love its focus on psychology, narritive tension, & moral ambiguity. I've always wanted to make a game that focuses on these elements. A game that focuses on communication & manipulation as a core mechanic. I also can't deny drawing visual inspiration from animes like Revolutionary Girl Utena & old film noir movies like Casablanca.
