We get a lot of weird sh*t in the mail, fromknivestobloody hairto boxeswe have to smashwith a hammer to get them to stop playing music. So the package Tecmo sent me this week isn’t particularly shocking, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
As part of a promo for its upcoming DS title,Again, Tecmo sent along a personalized “threat,” as pictured above. It mirrors the note found in the game, which follows the investigation of 19-year-old murders using the protagonist’s “Past Vision” powers for investigation. Of course, warningmeabout it does nothing; I don’t have “Past Vision” powers. We can’t remember what I had for lunchyesterday.
Also in the package was a Poloroid picture of the “Eye of Providence” (a key clue and theme in the game), along with thick script ofAgain‘sprologue. The title, developed by CiNG (the folks behindHotel Dusk) has a strong focus on narrative (and puzzle solving), which would explain the latter.
After the jump you’ll find video of twoAgainpuzzle-solving gameplay clips, which means I should probably go ahead and say “SPOILER ALERT.” I’ve also included some character bios, in case you’re looking to brush up on yourAgaintrivia.
