A murder mystery game based on the popular series
Twin Peaks: Into the Night is a free puzzle game that is based on the American mystery-drama series, Twin Peaks. Much like the media it was based on, this fan-made game is an eerie mystery that involves the murder of a local homecoming queen.
In Twin Peaks: Into the Night, players will have to take on the role of special agent Dale Cooper, as they work to solve the crime. Much like in games like Retro Mystery Club Vol.1: The Ise-Shima Case, you will have to visit several locations and collect clues in order to piece together what happened.
Find the culprit
With classic PSX-style visuals, Twin Peaks: Into the Night creates a nostalgic atmosphere that perfectly fits the retro vibe of the game’s setting. Fans of the franchise can look forward to exploring familiar locations and meeting up with iconic characters from the series, as well. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in the setting and see things from Agent Cooper’s perspective a bit better.
As already mentioned, the game makes use of investigation mechanics to run the story, which involves you picking up key evidence and speaking with potential witnesses. As players collect more information, they’ll be able to unravel more of this gripping story and discover the truth behind the gruesome event that has taken place. You’ll even be able to present your own hypotheses and opinions here and there.
Best of all, the game allows full support for gamepads and controllers, which work well with the game’s intuitive controls. Take note, though, that the game does have a lengthy installation process before you can sit down and enjoy it. Once you’ve downloaded the game’s ZIP file, you’ll need to extract the folder containing the game and grant special permissions to run the actual game file.
Worth the extra work
Although it can be tedious to install the game, Twin Peaks: Into the Night presents a captivating storyline and engaging gameplay to reel players into checking it out. With its classic PSX-style visuals and faithful recreation of iconic locations and characters, fans of the series and new players alike can look forward to a thrilling adventure. The investigation mechanics also add depth to the storytelling, allowing players to piece together the intriguing narrative.
