Live-Action Mystery Game Erica is Out Now on PlayStation 4

One of the new games announced during the Gamescom Opening Night Live press conference is out now. It’s called Erica, and it’s an FMV thriller from the developers at Flavourworks.

Erica is a mystery-thriller that stars live-action actors who players can interact with using multiple choice options. The players’ decisions will affect how the story plays out similar to Netflix’s Bandersnatch.

Erica follows the eponymous character as she tries to solve the mystery behind her father’s death. There will be multiple endings, and there is a companion Erica app for iOS and Android which offers clues to solving the mystery.
