Narrative adventure game The Vigilante Diaries planned for Switch
Out of the Blue Games, the studio behind Call of the Sea and American Arcadia, today announced The Vigilante Diaries. The game arrives this summer on Switch.
The Vigilante Diaries is a narrative adventure game with decision-making and RPG touches. It’s planned as part of the anthology An Out of the Blue Story, a set if narrative experiences that will put players in the shoes of characters throughout history in multiple situations.
A whole bunch of information is available in the following overview:
After two tours of duty in the Vietnam War, a working-class man returns to his hometown, to face a city now ravaged by crime, corruption, and social inequality. In this situation, there is only one way out for a lonely and desperate man… taking justice into his own hands.
In The Vigilante Diaries, players will recap the life of a masked vigilante and define not only his appearance, but his rules, methods, and red lines: Will you be a chivalrous crimefighter or a fearsome and ruthless avenger? Will you prioritize protecting the innocent or will your crusade for justice come before everything and everyone? It’s up to you to decide.
Throughout the vigilante’s Journal, you will be faced with choices in a raw account of the struggles, hardships, and pivotal moments of a working-class man that shaped their path until becoming a masked vigilante, and the events that took place after. You can customize your alter ego’s name, and your appearance, and even set your red lines as a crime fighter.
As the Vigilante, you will be monitoring police radio calls, listening to TV news, and even solving complex riddles sent by a serial killer. In specific moments, you’ll have to search for pieces of information displayed in the hideout, which will be essential to correctly deduct how to act in some situations in the Journal and to make the right choice.
You are not a role model. Not a hero. Maybe you can even become a villain. It all depends on you.
In The Vigilante Diaries, every action has a political meaning: you can fight for equality, rights, and justice. You can fight for order and law. You can be a non-lethal crime fighter or the exact opposite. In any case, there’s one thing certain… this city is afraid of you.
