‘The Shapeshifting Detective’ Release Date, Pre-Orders Announced
D’Avekki Studios and Wales Interactive’s FMV supernatural-noir murder mystery The Shapeshifting Detective (which was announced a few months back) not only now has a release date, but has a surprise for longtime fans of the genre.
Arriving on Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on November 6, 2018, the game is currently up for pre-order on Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with a 20% discount, with the Switch having its pre-order available on October 23rd.
As well, two new additions to the game’s voiceovers have been announced. Radio August, the in-game radio broadcast that features a streaming radio broadcast of “specially-selected dark fiction”, will guest star YouTube gaming personality, Jesse Cox, and FMV legend Chris Jones, better known as Tex Murphy in the long-running Tex Murphy series.
In The Shapeshifting Detective, you are put in the role of investigating a murder of Dorota Shaw. The prime suspects are three tarot readers with the uncanny ability to predict, or commit, murder. It’s your job to find out what else they know – but they won’t reveal their secrets to just anyone. Using your shapeshifting ability, you can change into nine other characters (or remain as yourself) to get the answers you need. Be careful, however, as you may end up the next victim.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
