Project Vic

About

Project Vic casts you as a freelance journalist chasing a breaking story. A late-night tip from a cop leads you to an abandoned crime scene where you comb through forests and estates for evidence. Use handheld tools to scan documents, photograph clues, and piece together a family's dark secrets. The narrative unfolds through environmental storytelling, with each discovery nudging you deeper into a web of suspicion and hidden motives. The game thrives on tension and atmosphere, blending methodical investigation with the risk of being caught trespassing. Sparse dialogue lets the setting do the talking, emphasizing isolation and urgency. Early access reviews highlight its eerie tranquility contrasting with the chaos of the unsolved case. While puzzle variety is limited, the focus on realistic detective work and a slowly figuring out mystery keeps the experience engaging for fans of cerebral adventures.

Storyline

You work as a freelance reporter. Late one evening, you are sitting at your tablet while the news reports on a death at a nearby estate. Shortly afterwards, a police officer friend calls you and tells you that the investigation into the case is closed for the moment and the crime scene is unguarded. You immediately set off to write the story of your life.
