AGAIN immerses gamers in a crime novel whodunit through challenging puzzles and an intriguing plot about serial murders 19 years in the making. Holding the DS sideways like a book, players assume the role of FBI agent Jonathan Weaver as they track down the culprit behind the game’s Providence Murder Cases. From the developer of the popular HOTEL DUSK: ROOM 215, the game uses real actors and full-motion video sequences to bring the dark and mysterious storyline to life. Puzzles require use of AGAIN’s Past Vision and Current Vision tools to gather evidence that players must use to help Weaver uncover the truth about his past and to solve the present-day killings.
