Project attributes

reCall is an experiment on interactive storytelling. In a dystopian near-future, postmortem detectives can use the "reCall machine" to explore memories of murder victims, in search of their killers. The player takes control of one such detective, that must hack into the mind of the girl Emily through a command line interface, reliving the horrors hidden in the depths of of her residual memory in search for the truth. During the investigation, the player must deal with the reconstructed conscience of a dead girl and travel through her narrative, exploring environments, speaking with shadows from the past and piecing evidence of the crime that has ended her life. At all times, however, digging too deep or asking the wrong questions may cause the frail Emily to collapse for good.

The game is in prototype stage and we're currently in search of partners interested in developing the idea further, perhaps into an episodic series of experiences.
