Dead Man's Phone: Unmasked lets you solve a murder case via the victim's phone, out now on mobile
Electric Noir Studios has launched the interactive crime game Dead Man's Phone: Unmasked, the second instalment of the BAFTA Nominated Dead Man’s Phone series. The game thrusts players into a gritty narrative that revolves around the murder of an online sex worker.
In Dead Man’s Phone: Unmasked, players will experience an interactive case via the storytelling platform Scriptic as they unravel the truth about the murder of AllMyFans influencer, Gemma Dream. As a homicide detective, players have to get to the bottom of the case through the victim's phone.
“This season of Dead Man’s Phone seeks to provide a voice for marginalised women. Too often, the dangers that women face are swept under the rug and ignored. This game spotlights a vital issue and the mobile gaming medium allows us to reach as wide an audience as possible," says Dead Man's Phone: Unmasked writer Martha Reed. "Being involved in the game has been an amazing experience and a challenge having come from a theatre background, but we’ve all helped create an authentic and human story with a really valuable message at its heart. I am beyond proud of the work we’ve done here and thrilled that we have helped put a voice to some of the most vulnerable members of society."
“After the success of the first season we wanted to make something that was true to our ethos of telling compelling stories while making sure that our voice is used for a social good. The mobile game platform has allowed us to reach a huge audience and really puts the player in the shoes of the detective. We want to use our platform to amplify marginalised voices,” says Nihal Tharoor, Founder & CEO of ElectricNoir.
Dead Man’s Phone: Unmasked is available to download on the Scriptic app via iOS and Android.
