About the Game

It has been 83 years since Edward Carnby investigated the suicide of Jeremy Hartwood. Now he wakes up in an apartment in New York and is moments away from being shot by a group of bad guys. He doesn't remember much and as he looks into a mirror, a man looks back at him that isn't even near the age of 80. But as all hell breaks loose and mysterious forces tear through the building and the city itself, the question about his looks becomes one of many.

Story & Setting

Edward's mysterious journey is divided into eight episodes that can be played in chronological order or can be accessed directly from the main menu.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Once in the game, players control Edward either in a 1st-person or a 3rd-person manner either by switching manually or depending on the situation and what item he uses. If he picks up a fire extinguisher for example, players will be able to extinguish fires with it if he is in 1st-person mode. In 3rd-person mode it instead becomes a deadly weapon or a battering ram. This is especially important since Edward won't find much ammunition for the pistols, shotguns and other weapons in the game.

Standout Features

• Especially since most enemies can only be permanently killed by burning them, igniting a wooden chair at a nearby fire, or using a lighter and a can of hairspray are Edward's best bets to knock them out.
• Edward: This behavior can of course be useful to Edward if he for instance wants to get through a closed wooden door and has nothing heavy at hand to force his way.

Presentation & Atmosphere

Instead he needs to be creative and use the items he finds or the environment for his advantage.
