THE POSTHUMOUS INVESTIGATION

Synopsis
The Posthumous Investigation is a time-loop noir mystery set in hand-drawn 1937 Rio de Janeiro where the victim himself hired you to solve his murder. Every loop resets the day but not your knowledge, turning failure into progress across 14 suspects who each have routines, secrets, and something to hide. A witty, atmospheric adaptation of Machado de Assis, one of the greatest writers in Brazilian literary history.

OUTLIVE 25

Synopsis
In 2000, a team of six Brazilian developers built an RTS about machines turning against humanity, published by Take-Two Interactive. Twenty-five years later, the same team is back. Outlive 25 remasters the classic with configurable unit AI that lets you delegate the micromanagement entirely so you can focus on what actually wins wars: espionage, sabotage, and macro strategy while your army holds the line.
