About this game

Investigation: Chapter 1 – Expired

Summer, 1995.
You receive a call from the Polly’s Ville Police Department. An electrical engineer, John Plier, just 18 years old, has been found dead in the decaying station of Ghillies Subway. What begins as a simple investigation soon spirals into something much darker...

Gameplay:
You play as two characters, Alex Rightman, a detective burdened by grief after the loss of his daughter, and y̶̼͐̉̏̾̄̈́͆̆o̵̩͆̽̽̄͗̊̄́͂̓͝͝u̶̢̢̻͕̦͕̳̼̻͇͔͕̽͛̅͛̔̉͗̈́͊͠ŗ̶̧͚̺̭̖̫̥̲̤̒̎̃̅̀̅̔ś̷̢͍̞͉̭̦̺̖e̵̢̨̙͖̳͉̝͙̳̅̾͛̀͝l̷̳̏͆̓̃̿͊̉̄f̷̛͓̭̥̱̰̼͂͛̈́́́̎̾̉̚͝, an officer monitoring Alex's bodycam footage, and helping him remotely open doors and activate systems.
When the line between dream and reality begins to blur, Alex finds himself trapped in an ever-shifting nightmare — one that feeds on guilt, loss, and death.
