A demo for Grasshopper Manufacture‘s The Silver Case remaster for PC is now available on Steam.
The full game is due out this fall. Here is a rundown:
1999 – the “24 Wards”. A string of mysterious serial killings plagues the city.
The detectives of the 24 Wards Heinous Crimes Unit have their eyes on one man: Kamui Uehara, legendary serial killer and assassin of a number of government officials 20 years prior in the now-famous “Silver Case”. However, nobody knows the true identity of Kamui.
Has he really returned? Who is this infamous serial killer?
The player takes control of the protagonist, a member of the Special Forces Unit “Republic,” from a first-person perspective. The game takes inspiration from the adventure and novel genres, leading the player through an in-depth story in which the truth is gradually revealed as they solve various puzzles, offering a fresh and unique experience.
The Silver Case was the debut game from developer SUDA51, who has worked on Flower, Sun and Rain, Killer 7, the No More Heroes series, Lollipop Chainsaw, and currently LET IT DIE. Now, The Silver Case HD Remaster will become the maiden work of Grasshopper Manufacture Inc., scheduled for release this fall, 2016 on various PC distribution platforms.
The game will be fully remastered, while retaining the same atmosphere of the original 1999 game for Sony PlayStation, and the game will be fully localized into English for the first time, finally giving fans of SUDA51 worldwide the chance to enjoy The Silver Case.
