The Last Case of Benedict Fox videos go deep into the secrets of the Mansion, introduce you to the Tattooist
The Last Case of Benedict Fox is a Lovecraftian Metroidvania with lovely hand-crafted visuals which seem to fit perfectly with the twisted world of the game.
As self-proclaimed detective Benedict Fox, you will have to sort your way through a world of secret organizations, forbidden rituals, and cold-blooded murders. To find clues to untimely deaths, you will dive into the victims’ consciousness to explore their memories.
You won’t be going it alone, as you will have a companion along for the ride. Unlike a typical sidekick or a Dr. Watson, your ally is a demon to which you are bound. It is this demon that allows you to explore the minds of the recently deceased to get a “testimony.”

EV startup Karma would like DeLorean to go back in time and not steal its trade secrets
