Profiler Files - New Orleans - The Very First Sneak Peek / Le Tout Premier Aperçu





 English version  (Cliquez ici pour la version française)


What is
?

Profiler Files - New Orleans is a unique narrative investigation game, blending comedy and thriller, with strong and quirky characters, in a somewhat... strange New Orleans setting!

Imagine something between Ace Attorney and Criminal Minds. Yep, quite a gap, right?

 As a young FBI agent freshly landed in the field, you will face all sorts of situations and encounter a variety of characters. Your choices, your intuition, and your deductions will dictate the course of the story. 

How you interact with characters, the clues you find at crime scenes, and the psychological analysis you perform on suspects, victims, and other protagonists will determine the progression of the adventure, the success or failure of each investigation... and, of course, the outcome of the game and the central arc of Profiler Files - New Orleans.

The game features:

  • A branching storyline with multiple endings
  • A dash of point-and-click investigation,
  • A large ladle of colorful characters,
  • ....and plenty of humor, which doesn't prevent serious, sometimes even grave, themes worthy of the best crime series.

Sounds nice... So what, now?
We are working hard on the game and we have almost completed the very first playable demo of Profiler Files - New Orleans, which will be SOON available for free on Steam.

Thanks to this demo, you will be able to see what you can expect from the game, as it features its first (and shortest) episode .  

Of course, as it is still in development, many element (graphics, animations, cinematics, HUD, musics, sound FX...) are still provisional in this prototype demo, but all the roots of the gameplay ((investigation, profiling, storytelling, choices and branchings) are in place.

Expect to try it soon! In the meantime, don't forget to subscribe to our Facebook page and to add the demo to your wishlist on Steam if you don't want to miss its launch!



C'est quoi,
?

Profiler Files - New Orleans est un jeu narratif d'enquête à l'ambiance unique !

Imaginez quelque chose entre Ace Attorney et la série Criminal Minds. Sacré grand écart, par vrai ?

 Dans la peau d'un jeune agent du FBI fraîchement débarqué sur le terrain, vous allez affronter toutes sortes de situations et rencontrer une ribambelle de personnages variés. Vos choix, votre intuition et vos déductions dicteront le déroulement de l'aventure.

La façon dont vous échangerez avec les personnages, les indices que vous trouverez sur les scènes de crime et l'analyse psychologique que vous ferez des suspects, victimes et autres protagonistes... tout cela déterminera la progression de l'aventure, la réussite ou l'échec de chaque enquête… et bien sûr, le dénouement du jeu et de l'intrigue centrale "fil rouge" de Profiler Files - New Orleans.

La recette du jeu :

  • Une narration à embranchements avec des fins multiples.
  • Un zeste d'enquête point-and-click,
  • Une grosse louche de personnages hauts en couleur…
  • ...et de l'humour à gogo qui n'empêche pas des thématiques sérieuses, parfois même graves, dignes des meilleures séries policières.

Ça a l'air chouette... Et donc ?

Nous travaillons dur sur le jeu et nous ne sommes pas loin d'avoir terminé la toute première démo jouable de Profiler Files - New Orleans, démo qui sera BIENTÔT disponible gratuitement sur Steam, en français.

Grâce à cette démo (le premier - et plus court - des épisodes du jeu) vous allez pouvoir découvrir ce qui vous attend dans Profiler Files - New Orleans.

Bien sûr, vu que le jeu est toujours en développement, plusieurs éléments de cette démo-prototype (comme les graphismes, les animations, les cinématiques, l'interface, la musique, les effets sonores, etc.) sont encore provisoires, mais tout ce qui est au cœur du gameplay ((enquêtes, profilage, narration, choix et embranchements) y sont bel et bien présents.

Vous pourrez bientôt vous y essayer  ! En attendant, n'oubliez pas de vous abonner à  notre page Facebook et à ajouter la démo à votre liste de souhaits Steam si vous ne voulez pas rater son lancement !

Profiler Files - New Orleans and the Principle of Uncertainty / Profiler Files - New Orleans et le principe d'incertitude

Hi! This is David, the designer of Profiler Files – New Orleans . I'm taking advantage of being just a few days away from the release of the playable demo on Steam and the launch of our Kickstarter campaign to tell you a bit about our "philosophy" in the game – what I call our "principle of uncertainty." In many games, choices are guided, and often, after several clues and dialogues, you can guess what might be the "right" choices and the "wrong" choices. We didn't want anything like that for Profiler Files – New Orleans . In a sense, we wanted to reflect the real world, in that every choice and decision can have consequences, but in any case, life goes on... and we never have absolute certainty.  It's the same in Profiler Files – New Orleans : there is no "game over," no bad choice that leads to a dead end (or at least not before the very end of the game). Whatever the outcome of an episode, the game continues. But, of co...

It's over... but far from it. C'est fini... mais pas vraiment.

  Let's be honest: we were expecting more from our Kickstarter campaign. Behind this gentle euphemism, however, there are good things: today, more than 8000 players have downloaded the demo on Steam and nearly 400 of them have already wishlisted Profiler Files – New Orleans . Every day, more of you are discovering our project and sharing your feedback with us. We will obviously reconsider our approach to the game, as it appears from this data that while you like the game's concept, the Japanese visual novel aesthetic might not be the most suitable. We will take the time to reflect and revise our project. This campaign is a failure, but it does not mark the end of the road for Profiler Files – New Orleans . Stay tuned on Steam, as it is highly likely that the game will continue its journey there and evolve – especially through early access. A big thank you to averyone who supported us. We'll see you soon, promised. David and the Land Creations team. Soyons honnêtes : ...
