Gameplay
Gameplay
John "Poe" Pope and Ellis Munro are radio hosts who cover supernatural topics. The characters previously appeared in D'Avekki Studios' games as minor characters. In the series chronology, this game takes place before The Shapeshifting Detective. Players control Poe and Munro as they become involved in six supernatural adventures, each of which is self-contained. At points where the players can make choices, icons are displayed on the screen. Players must choose an icon that represents their desired action before time runs out. During more intense situations, such as a facing someone wielding a knife, the timers are shorter. After each adventure, the game recounts the player's choices and tells them how popular each choice was among other gamers.

Digitally Downloadeds reviewer enjoyed the noir atmosphere, acting, and gameplay, which was described as "new yet familiar".
