Behind the Scenes of Full Motion Video game Jessika

Today, publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer TriTrieGames invite you to go behind the scenes of Jessika, the new investigative Full Motion Video (FMV) game launching on Windows, Mac, and Linux via Steam on August 25, 2020. In Jessika, youll be tasked with the intensely emotional job of a lifetime as you investigate the suicide of the titular character. Hired by her father after her untimely demise, youll need to use your detective know-how and intuition to uncover clues about what happened, and ultimately, the details of her last gripping moments. In the new behind-the-scenes trailer, the developers reveal the inspiration behind Jessika and why they sought out an FMV format to tell the story of her tragic end. Additionally, TriTrie Games expands upon the underlying message in the game, explaining how their personal views on the subversive topic evolved while in the development process. We are used to serious topics being discussed in movies. However, its rather rarely seen in games, said Jessika Game Designer, Pierre Schlmp. That was one of the main motivations for me to participate in this project. Watch the first behind-the-scenes featurette for Jessika here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMsJrv3YkhU A demo for Jessika is now available on Steam. To get an early look, you can play it here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1251980/Jessika/

Dear Jessika,

I have so many questions…so many questions that are haunting me since…then. I know we had lots of dissensions in the past. And sure, I have to admit that I wasn’t the best father there is…everybody has his faults and his crosses to bear.

Anyway, the important thing is, you have to learn from your mistakes. But right now, it’s too late for redemption, too late to say I’m sorry. There’s no way I can put right the terrible wrong that I’ve done – because of what you did and for whatever reason you did this. All I can think of is: WHY? Was this your last resort? If you would’ve talked to me, we could’ve found a remedy, a way out…somehow.

I can’t blame you for keeping silence and a low profile. I can only blame myself. No matter what others will say, for my emotional well-being, I want to – no, I have to find out what happened and what made you do this.

I hired professionals that will be able to bring light into the darkness, inquiring your whereabouts and examine your intentions. And maybe, but just maybe, they can ease my conscience. At least for the time being.

Love always.
Dad
