Voyeur

Voyeur is a full-motion-video political thriller in which you play a private investigator gathering evidence of wealthy CEO Richard “Reed” Hawke’s corruption. Hired by one of Hawke’s family members, you watch the family from a building opposite their mansion as they gather for the weekend to discuss his bid for the presidency of the United States. Your recordings could end his political career, but drawing the wrong conclusion may make you the target of a ruthless assassin.

Watch the Hawke family

You control a video camera and choose where to focus, initially seeing only partial scenes. The material you record can shape your interpretation of other events, so choosing the wrong subject may taint your sense of context. The family member who hires you is selected at random from those gathered at the mansion, and the game has multiple endings.

The filmed scenes are an integral part of the gameplay. Voyeur’s design draws inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, using restricted views of events to make observation and interpretation central to the investigation.
