There’s a new crime thriller on the block and this one will have you investigating a mysterious suicide as not one, not two, but three distinct characters.
Coming complete with a price tag of £11.99, Knee Deep sends you off with your investigative hat to the backwater Florida town of Cypress Knee, and leaves you to use your skills of observation and deduction, as you engage in realistic conversation in which your choices have a direct impact on how things pan out. With a delightful blues soundtrack pushing things on, you cannot fail with Knee Deep as the story will gradually unfold until you reach the finale!
You’ll be able to find our review very very shortly (you know, once that embargo thing lifts) but we reckon you’ll like what you find. If you agree, then you could do worse than hit up the Xbox Games Store and splash the required cash.
Game Description:
When a washed-up actor hangs himself on location, a spotlight is cast on the backwater Florida town of Cypress Knee. Knee Deep is a crime thriller where choices matter as you investigate this mysterious suicide. Your screen becomes a stage as you investigate as three distinct characters: cheeky blogger Romana Teague, down-and-out local reporter Jack Bellet, and cynical private investigator K.C. Gaddis. Use your skills of observation, deduction, and cleverness to pull back the curtain and reveal the true story behind this swampland conspiracy. Experience a magical reality where characters are transported among scenes, set pieces moved into place, and music wafts from the orchestra pit. Knee Deep is about characters, storytelling, and the melodrama of swampland Florida.
Like the sound of this, even if some of the presentation looks a bit wonky. I’m a bit of a sucker for these interactive story type adventure games, (anything by Telltale, Blues and Bullets, Life is Strange, Virginia etc.). This is now on my radar and I look forward to your review!
