Overview
Description

You play as Eric Fox, a psychic detective who can transmit his consciousness into others to see through their eyes and hear through their ears, uncovering clues no one else can. This innovative twist on the interactive movie lets you explore a dark, branching narrative where every choice can change the outcome. The game features multiple endings and a gritty, horror‑infused story that rewards careful observation. Though its graphics date back to 1995, the atmospheric FMV sequences and unique psychic mechanic still stand out for fans of retro adventure titles.

Rosa and her spirit guide Joey dive into the neon‑lit underworld of street psychics, investigating mysterious deaths and restless spirits. From gritty nightclubs to luxurious yachts, their journey reveals a conspiracy that threatens both the living and the dead. The game blends classic point‑and‑click puzzles with a compelling narrative, delivering drama and mystery in an indie adventure that keeps players guessing until the final reveal.
