About The Reason Behind
The Reason Behind is a third-person detective game set in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1954. You play a detective working cases in a noir city: you search crime scenes, interrogate suspects and piece the clues together.
Clues come from small details. In one scene, two teacups on a table raise the question of why a man who lived alone had company. The story is aimed at adults, with crime scenes, gunfire, strong language and implied suicide, and the developer is going for a cinematic look with realistic characters.
FishFoxGames is making it for Windows. It's coming soon to Steam, where you can wishlist it.
