Staffer Reborn

About this game

[Game overview]

Staffer Reborn is a game of supernatural abilities and logical deduction set in 1960s America. It tells the story of a man trapped in a cycle of death and resurrection caused by his supernatural ability and the investigator who was recruited to help.

The Lieutenant, a man with the supernatural ability to resurrect, has reached the end of his life and awaits death from old age. However, his revival ability steals this natural death from him, sticking him in a cycle where his old age kills him every fifteen minutes. Players must step into the shoes of the investigator who takes the case, investigate the Lieutenant's ability, and help him achieve eternal rest.




Talk to the people around the Lieutenant and investigate the items in the room to obtain new information on the case. The information you uncover will be recorded on files detailing your findings.


If you succeed in collecting all the information there is to uncover, at that point, it'll be time to start logically deducing what you can from it. Ensure you've got a solid grip on the situation surrounding the Lieutenant thus far. Use the information in your records to uncover new truths lying in wait.
