Wales Interactive, the studio best known for games like Maid of Sker, The Bunker, Five Dates, and more have partnered with Good Gate Media to release a new interactive movie called Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? It is a murder mystery and will be released on mobile, consoles, and PC on March 18th, with pre-orders beginning from March 4th.

Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? is not your classic murder mystery because it comes with a twist. Uncle Marcus (played by Office star Andy Buckley who played the role of David Wallace) may be muted forever – someone has poisoned him and wants to kill him at the yearly get together. Every year, Abby’s mother celebrates her birthday by hosting a family quiz. The members of this family can be quite unconventional, but this is the one day they come together to have some fun.

Things take a dark turn when Uncle Marcus tells Abby’s mum that he has been poisoned by someone in the family and she’s the only person that he can trust. In a race against time, Abby’s mother must piece together the puzzle of who poisoned Uncle Marcus and find the perpetrator before it’s too late.
