Our take on Unforeseen Incidents
Players may hit the wall when progress depends on following the investigation, exploring locations, and solving puzzles. Those seeking frequent combat or an open-ended structure will encounter that mismatch early, as Harper’s journey centers on uncovering the mystery.
What is Unforeseen Incidents?
Unforeseen Incidents follows Harper Pendrell, a small-town handyman who encounters a dying woman and becomes involved in a conspiracy surrounding a disease spreading across the country.
A scientist, a reporter, and a reclusive artist each hold part of the key to stopping it, while dangerous fanatics stand in Harper’s way. The game focuses on investigating the catastrophe, exploring locations, meeting characters, and solving puzzles. Its mystery unfolds through hand-painted 2D artwork with more than 60 backgrounds.
