From the Press Release
Reverb Publishing has unveiled new screens from its forthcoming adventure Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller. The game is the first commercial release from fledgling developer Phoenix Online Studios – renowned creators of the King’s Quest fan game The Silver Lining. An episodic story in the spirit of Dexter and Heavy Rain, Cognition stars Erica Reed, an FBI agent in Boston, Massachusetts, who lost her brother years ago to a serial killer who was never caught.
In the high-stress hunt to save him, she began developing the strange and uncontrolled power of post-cognition: by touching an object, she can see its past, events that happened on, to, or around it. When she comes across a crime scene that has clues that were left specifically for someone with her abilities, a new hunt is on. Who knows her secret? How? And what do they want from her? Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller will be available for PC soon, price to be confirmed.
