Press release:
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Superstring today announced with great excitement and happiness that their narrative ARG/Detective game “Acolyte” is now available for PC via Steam.

//FEATURES:

//NATURAL LANGUAGE INPUT – interact freely with your Acolyte, using your own words to advance a non-linear narrative.
//BECOME A PART OF THE STORY – the worlds of the game and your own will blur, with ARG elements that contribute to a sprawling real-world narrative.
//RICH, NON-LINEAR NARRATIVE – experience a story of artificial intelligence and corporate conspiracy, with writing from Geroge Lockett and Olivia Wood (Sunless Skies, Fallen London and Where the Water Tastes Like Wine.)
//INNOVATIVE PUZZLES – use your Acolyte to help solve puzzles that require out-of-the-box-thinking, as you dig deep into its programming.
//CUSTOMISE YOUR ACOLYTE – personalise how your Acolyte looks and interacts, as you tailor your assistant to your preferences.
//UNRAVEL THE CONSPIRACY – uncover a dark truth as you dig into the past of your employer.

About Acolyte:
Acolyte is a narrative ARG/Detective game that gives you your own Acolyte; a digital assistant you can talk to freely with unlimited dialogue options. Just like a real conversation.

Acolyte invites players to become an employee of Nanomax – a well-funded tech start-up looking to change the face of consumer AI. As a remote QA tester for the company, players will interact with its staff and absorb its culture, but unexplained firings, missing employees and a strange, highly-classified bug in the Acolyte code-base point to something being very wrong.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having your own PA who you can solve crimes and take down corrupt institutions with, Acolyte very much ticks that box.
