Unavowed (2018)
A demon possessed you one year ago. Since that day, you unwillingly tore a trail of bloodshed through New York City. Your salvation comes in the form of the Unavowed – an ancient society dedicated to stopping evil. You are free, but your world is in tatters. You have no home, no friends, and are wanted by the police. Your old life is gone, but perhaps you can start a new one. Join the ranks of the Unavowed, and fight against the oncoming darkness. Features: Choose a male or female protagonist Three playable origin stories Branching storyline A total of four companion characters to choose from, each with their own talents and abilities. Twice the resolution of a typical Wadjet Eye Game! All the usual guff – voice acting, commentary, original music, etc
