Wired Productions and developer LKA have followed up with last December’s reveal of When Sirens Fall Silent with a new trailer, continuing the immersive and concept-driven exploration of the game’s universe. Titled Act II: The Station, the trailer pulls players deeper into protagonist Mila’s investigation as it continues to unfold.
Act II opens in the Police Station, as Mila and Jona review the disturbing TG News footage of kidnap victim Aglae. The message she delivers only deepens the mystery, ending with a cryptic mention of “sirens.” As Mila searches for answers, the case takes an unexpected and troubling turn.
Continuing LKA’s penchant of perfectly recreating real Italian locations, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
As Mila, players will need to investigate, find and piece together the clues to hunt down the one responsible for these crimes, from examining bodies to rooms full of potential answers. Keep your eyes peeled, as crime scenes often hide clues that aren’t obvious on first examinations. You’ll also be engaging in detailed interviews with suspects and witnesses, but pay attention to the body language. Sometimes there are answers in the unspoken words.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
