Our take on Loretta
Rather than treating the protagonist as a hero pursuing a clear victory, the story makes the player complicit in her crimes. Dialogue choices determine how far the narrative moves from deceit toward murder, replacing a fixed plot with branching outcomes.
What is Loretta?
Loretta is a psychological thriller set in the 1940s.
The player follows a housewife who has moved from New York City to a run-down farmhouse in the rural South with her husband, Walter. After learning about his infidelity and a lucrative life insurance policy in his name, she begins to form a grisly plan. Dialogue choices and interactions with objects determine how far Loretta goes and which path her story takes. Cryptic puzzles reveal parts of her past, while branching paths and multiple endings let players explore different outcomes. The story centers on betrayal, financial strain, a troubled relationship, and Loretta’s efforts to regain control of her life.
