About TR-49
TR-49 is a narrative mystery about a WWII-era machine hidden in a church basement. When it starts running, a man speaks through its crackling speaker and asks you to find a stolen book. He knows only its title, and time is running out.
The machine and its archive
Bletchley Park engineers Cecil Caulderly and Beatrice Dooler created the machine. For fifty years, it gathered obscure books, letters and journals in an attempt to crack the code of reality. As the creators’ lives fell apart, the machine continued working.
You navigate its archive, connect obscure texts and uncover secrets about the machine and its creators. Your task is to locate and destroy the book at the machine’s core before it is too late.
Investigate the archive
- Deduce links between texts to find hidden sources.
- Unravel stories and uncover secrets belonging to the books’ authors and the machine’s creators.
- Map the archive and find the book that will rewrite the world.
Your handler
You can speak with your handler at any time. The conversation responds to your exploration, forming a dynamic audio drama.
The game features voice performances by Rebekah McLoughlin, Paul Warren and Phillipe Bosher, with an original soundtrack by Laurence Chapman.
