10 Upcoming Video Games To Look Out For In April 2017
6. The Silver Case
What is it: The Silver Case is the debut title of Grasshopper Manufacture, founded by industry legend Suda51. Released for the Playstation in 1999, the atmospheric text adventure game comes back to PS4 in an all new HD style.
Taking place before the Y2K meltdown in Japan, it follows the split stories of two separate characters - a detective and a journalist both following and tracking down a series of bizarre murders. It soon comes to light that they're all inexplicably linked to a high-profile government assassination case almost 20 years ago, known as The Silver Case.
The original Playstation release was noted for it's stylistic overcoming of a poor budget, innovating a "Film Window" system to present art assets together as a cohesive whole. Localized for the first time with direct supervision from Grasshopper, The Silver Case is finally available worldwide.
Fans of Grasshopper's future titles like Killer7, Let It Die, and No More Heroes should definitely put this one on their watch list. There's no better way to experience the beginning of the enigmatic Suda51.
When's it coming out: 18th of April for PS4 in North America, 21st of April for Europe.
