Alfred Hitchcock-inspired noir adventure ‘Loretta’ lets players become an accomplice to murder through the eyes of a woman during the socially tumultuous 1940s.
DANGEN Entertainment and developer Yakov Butuzov will release Loretta on all major PC platforms on February 16th, 2023. Set in small-town America in the 1940s, Loretta is a 2D point-and-click adventure that revolves around a woman handling betrayal, her husband’s infidelity, and reclaiming her agency. Loretta will be coming to consoles at a later date.
Loretta is a housewife. Her husband Walter is a writer. Dragged from the glitz and glamor of New York City and thrust into a dilapidated farmhouse in the rural south, both are unsuccessful, struggling with their finances and their relationship. But when Loretta learns of her husband’s infidelity and a remarkably lucrative life insurance policy filed in his name, a grisly plan begins to take root. It is up to the player to decide how far she will follow it.
Players choose dialogue, interact with objects and decide the depths to which Loretta’s depravity spirals while navigating a nightmare of her own creation. The game is split into multiple chapters that jump back and forth in time to provide context and reveal the background of Loretta’s degradation. Different story paths lead to various twists, turns, and multiple endings.
