Inquisitor Avery presses on through her expedition's final days, hunting a bizarre transmission in a remote, sinking wilderness that defies explanation. This narrative-driven investigative horror game blends survival and simulation elements into a nonlinear plot that unravels human identities amid uncanny natural forces. Players guide her across an eerie, mutable terrain overtaken by wilderness-and possibly worse.
Core play centers on open-ended investigation and analysis paired with simulation-lite tracking of her physical state in fine detail. Haunted radio signals, signal breakdowns, and the void of untamed land shape tense survival moments, alongside riddles like empty tombs and endless tasks. Fans of thoughtful adventure games with embodied exploration and dense mysteries will find a fitting challenge here.
My Work Is Not Yet Done is a narrative-driven investigative horror game, combining elements of the survival/simulation genres with a dense, nonlinear plot exploring the imbrication and dissolution of human identities/meanings within uncanny wilderness.
It follows the final days of the inquisitor Avery, the last surviving member of a doomed scientific expedition into a remote and unaccountable stretch of sinking country. Tasked with tracking down the source of a strange transmission believed to have originated from somewhere within the region, she must navigate, survey and survive an eerie, ever-shifting landscape reclaimed by nature — and perhaps something stranger.
Work heavily revolves around a combination of open-ended investigative and analytical work, in tandem with a detailed simulation-lite approach to representing the character's embodied physical experience at the level of moment-to-moment minutiae. It's also about haunted radio signals, and catastrophic signal failures, and the encroaching emptiness of wilderness, and the paradox of an empty tomb. And lastly, of course (although hopefully not ironically), it's about unfinished — and unfinishable — work.
