Picton Files: Contemporary crime thrillers
Strand Games Technology
Concept
The Picton Files are a series of contemporary crime detective thrillers. The games are episodic and feature lead characters: Detective Inspector Lance Picton and his assistant Kathrynne Lee, known as Kit.
In this game you will assume the role of DI Picton, a man as tenacious as he is effective. Let's hope you're up to it. If you get stuck, look for more clues and talk to Kit.
Good luck!
Technical Brief
This is a demo of the full game, developed in Strand and presented with 3D rendered graphics, including backgrounds and characters. The game includes ambient sounds and other effects. Gameplay consists of hybrid choice-parser input with GUI clickables and multiple location viewpoints.
