Hired by Brás Cubas, a key entrepreneur in twentieth-century Rio de Janeiro, you investigate the enigma of his death. This noir-style adventure simulation traps you in a time loop on the day after his demise, letting you track friends and foes to spot their odd actions. Interrogate suspects, collect clues across city regions, and leverage loop resets to confront them with fresh insights.
Each loop cycle opens chances to probe secrets, manipulate events, and shift character outcomes in this indie game inspired by Machado de Assis's landmark novel. Uncover motives through testimonies and stirred conflicts while navigating sarcasm, wit, humor, and sharp social insights. Fans of narrative-driven simulations with time-loop mechanics will uncover layered possibilities and consequences.
Master the Time Loop: You have one day to solve the crime. Learn the schedules of 14 unique characters, spot their contradictions, and manipulate their routines. Keep your knowledge when the day resets and stay one step ahead of the killer.
No hand-holding. Use your "Thinking Board" to link evidence, reconstruct the timeline, and accuse the culprit. Only pure logic will free you from the loop.
A Living Literary World: Experience a satirical, witty, and dark adaptation of Brazil’s legendary author, Machado de Assis. Your investigation takes you through a hand-drawn 1937 Rio de Janeiro that drips with style, sarcasm, and atmosphere. There is no single correct answer: every accusation has its logic, and the truth is yours to define.
