- Players without interest in melodrama or staged presentation may not connect with its theatrical format
Our take on Knee Deep
Its theatrical format prioritizes dialogue, character perspectives, and staged scenes over action systems and open exploration. That focus gives the mystery a distinct presentation, but limits the range of moment-to-moment activities for players seeking combat or broader environmental interaction.
What is Knee Deep?
Investigate the death of an actor in Cypress Knee, a remote Florida community, through the perspectives of blogger Romana Teague, reporter Jack Bellet, and private investigator K.
C. Gaddis. The story unfolds as a theatrical production, with characters, scenery, music, voice acting, and scene changes presented as parts of a stage show. Observation, deduction, and conversation guide the investigation into a local conspiracy. Dialogue changes according to player choices, and major decisions can produce different consequences, including harm to characters. The complete season contains three acts. The game also includes Tobii EyeX support for lighting, character reactions, menus, and minigames, plus VR versions for Vive and Oculus.
