About this game

EXT. MANSION - NIGHT "FIND VINNY"

Night falls and he still won't pick up the phone. You arrive at the mansion: the last place he went. It's oddly quiet for the site of a glamorous party the night before. Your invite must have gotten lost in the mail. In any case, you make your way inside to find your friend.

Actors have to look out for each other in this industry.

Feed me something real

INT. MANSION - NIGHT "PLAY YOUR PART"

An abandoned film set. A broken home cinema. Searching the mansion and unlocking its secrets requires the fullness of your ingenuity. Pay attention.

INT. HOME CINEMA - NIGHT "A SPLICE OF LIFE"

Your search reveals a number of USB drives and memory cards containing corrupted video files. Some can be spliced together to reveal what really happened within these walls. Try not to lose yourself in your work.

INT. HEART OF HOLLYWOOD - NIGHT "TAKE YOUR SHOT"

The house is watching. It seems to haunt your steps. Piece together what really happened last night as you discover a side of the entertainment industry only discussed in whispers.

The cruelty. The sordid gossip. The auditions gone wrong. The shadowy figure with the power to make or break your career.

There's only one way to guarantee your success: feed me something real.

    Patch 1.0.7

    Point of No Return improvements: Some players reported wanting to be able to reload before the point of no return in order to explore the mansion a bit more and hunt for achievements. We’ve added the ability for people that have completed the game to continue their Save from the point before the point of no return, meaning you will be at a point where you can explore the Mansion and re-watch videos in the Cinema. Please be aware that if you hit the point of no return, you need to play right the way through to the end of the game and then hit ‘continue’ from the main menu to be put back into the mansion. This will work on existing save games. Disabled Nvidia Image Scaling on GTX 10 series cards because it causes a crash on certain driver versions. Added translations for first boot music on/off prompt (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Added a very faint light in one darker late-game environment to help players navigate better Audio bug fixes Cinema knocking door bug Chase’s glitchy audio bug Cinema speaker bug Front gate area bugs Fixed issue where the cursor is not centred when you first interact with an object using controller Fixed issue where head of Poseidon’s trident in the Spa can move out of place after the puzzle is solved and the player revisits the Spa later in the game Fixed issue where voice note subtitles do not pause when the game is unfocused Fixed issue where mouse cursor not visible when entering numbers for the key fob in the security hut Fixed issue where item can be picked up while the draw is moving Fix for benchmark only running on one platform due to sync Fixed issue where the sticky note in security hut can vanish after reading but is still interactable Improvement to match Art Book and Inventory controls and UI Potential fix for issue where the black screen at intro remains over the game
