Here is an overview of the game:

Dry Drowning is a visual novel that takes a stark look at a near-future dominated by dark forces in positions of power. The game immerses players into the world of Mordred Foley—a troubled private detective with a genuinely shady past—and his mission to lift the lid on a serial killer taking out targets in a dystopian future. Weighed down by a dark history of his own, Foley’s world is one gripped by tyranny, where the hunger for power at the top results in society sinking to the absolute bottom.

Key Features:

• Choices that really matter: More than 150 story branches and three completely different endings.
• Moral choices that impact character relationships and the game environment across a potential 20 hours of gameplay.
• Elaborate clue system for investigations: Learn about the city of Nova Polemos and its citizens through dialogue, evidence, items, and character biographies.
• Horror style interrogations: Use evidence to reconstruct cases, break people’s masks of deception, and uncover the truth with Dry Drowning’s “Living Nightmare” system.
• Explore flashbacks and past cases to solve new ones.
• Dynamic soundtrack with more than 40 dramatic and emotional tracks.
• A balanced mix of Western and Eastern visual arts, casting light on a grim futuristic setting where cyberpunk and retro elements harmoniously coexist.
