MANIA is a stealth noir adventure game in which you investigate the overnight disappearance of an entire town to unravel the connection it has with your missing loved one.
Explore the film noir-esque 1940s world that revels in misdirection and obscurity as you fight to restore its liveliness by piecing together the truth and overcoming the anomalies within.
​
You are Eli, a detective who has an unearthly ability of painting the real picture by breathing life into desolation. Restore and recolour the world as you gradually piece together the story and find the underlying truth that has been swallowed by despair and depression.
Your ability doesn’t come without its drawbacks. Other-worldly beings lurk in the desaturated space and will constantly seek you out. Overcome them by sneaking through the town and by utilising a multitude of crooks and crannies to access heavily guarded secrets. Just be mindful that the more you know, the more the world will change, and the more ruthless and defensive enemies will become.
