WHAT WE KNOW:
Sam reveals that the protagonist, Jack Joyce, was involved in a failed
science experiment taking place in Riverpot, a university town. There is
a much bigger science fiction element in this title compared to
previous Remedy games as the project was focused on time travel, and the
project's failure leads to a number of character acquiring time bending
powers.
As well as Jack, there are additional characters such as Kate (female
lead), Sofia Amaral (saved from the blast) and Paul (the antagonist) who Sam
refers to as "someone who comes close from stealing the show". In the
game you play as two characters, or "two and a half" as Sam describes
it, as you also assume control of Paul for a small section of the game.
Like in Alan Wake, the game will be episodically delivered
mirroring the live action TV element of the title. The game is a single
player experience, but will have social aspects to it, at the moment
Remedy is not disclosing what these will be.
