Our take on Jessika
Rather than centering its mystery on movement through a physical setting, Jessika makes database searches the investigative structure. Clues come from digital records that are shared with a client and colleagues, placing evidence review at the center of the adventure.
What is Jessika?
In this mystery game, players examine the online record of Jessika, a woman who has died, while working for her family.
The investigation takes place within a team that handles digital evidence. Using basic details about Jessika, players type search terms into her database to locate recorded footage, sound recordings, written notes, and press coverage. Relevant discoveries can be passed to the client and other investigators. By connecting the evidence, players reconstruct the circumstances surrounding Jessika’s suicide. The assignment starts as ordinary casework before turning into a grim narrative filled with unexpected developments.
