About This Game

Hired by Brás Cubas, an influential entrepreneur of twentieth century's Rio de Janeiro, you must find the culprit behind his own death. Even from beyond, Brás won't let you move on until you solve the case. Interrogate suspects, and uncover their motives. Delve into this imaginary take on Rio, gather clues, and find testimonies to unravel this mystery.



USE THE LOOP TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Brás imprisoned you in a time loop against your will, but you can use it to your favor. On the day after the victim's demise, friends and foes alike may exhibit... "peculiar" behavior. You can follow them, learn their actions, and use the acquired information to confront them. In some cases, this can even cause them to deviate from their known routine. What critical events can occur when pushing for the truth? Find out all of the possibilities!



AN UNUSUAL ADAPTATION OF THE WORKS OF MACHADO DE ASSIS
Machado de Assis is considered by many to be the greatest Brazilian writer. In this game, his most acclaimed work have been reshaped and blended into a new and unexpected narrative, but still referencing the source material with all the sarcasm, wit, humor and social commentary. An homage to one of the world's most celebrated authors.
