If you were a fan of Life is Strange, then you may like a brand new game set to launch from the developers behind tit.

Developed by DONTNOD and published by Bandai Namco, Twin Mirror is “a compelling journey that explores the elements of choice and hypocrisy, while paving a players’ way toward the conclusion of their investigation.”

According to Bandai Namco:

“Your story begins in the town of Basswood, West Virginia, where Sam has returned to attend the funeral of his best friend. While recovering from a heavy break-up, Sam finds himself dejected and downtrodden as he interacts with former friends in his hometown. But, things start to take a turn for the worse when Sam wakes up in his hotel room the next day.

With a shirt covered in blood and no whereabouts of the previous night, it’s now up to Sam to recall his memories and search for disparate clues in Basswood to find the truth in this mysterious investigation! But remember… the clock is ticking.

Twin Mirror is a psychological thriller wrapped around an investigation where your memories, choices, and relationships will determine Sam’s complicated fate. As he comes to terms with heartbreak, homecoming, and the perpetual struggle of adulthood, Sam will need your help exploring a dark and emotional adventure where the line between truth and deception is blurred.”

While it isn’t set to launch on Playstation 4 until 2019, you can get a glimpse of the game right here:
