Gilles

Gilles is an exploration story about a new guest invited to a premiere of The Klown, a play by theater director Gilles. After 10 years in exile writing his great work, Gilles waits alone for Sam Path and his crew to arrive and join him on the journey to present the play. You investigate Gilles’s house and theater to uncover the history of the people who live there, what happened to the Sampath family and the mystery of the Klown.

The house and its history

Explore a home in Porto das Dunas, examining family belongings, notes, letters, pictures and videos to piece together what happened. The story unfolds through your discoveries, and how much you find depends on how closely you follow the trails through the house. There is no combat or gunplay; you explore at your own pace, without being attacked or blocked.

Between times and realities

The experience moves between the 1980s and the 2020s. As Gilles writes The Klown and creates its universe, his visions become increasingly real, and the boundary between fantasy and reality begins to fade. Storm sounds and thunder accompany the recreated home as you investigate its details and secrets.
