The first title, The Vigilante Diaries, in the anthology An Out of the Blue Story has narrative experiences with decision making and an RPG touch that will make the player wonder “how far would you go to survive?”
The award-winning studio Out of the Blue Games is once again making waves in the gaming industry with their latest project, The Vigilante Diaries. Set to be released in Summer 2024, this narrative adventure with decision-making and RPG elements will transport players back to the United States of the mid-80s, a time defined by social upheaval and crime.
In The Vigilante Diaries, players will step into the shoes of a working-class man who returns home after serving two tours in the Vietnam War. However, his once peaceful hometown is now rife with crime, corruption, and social inequality. Faced with no other option, our protagonist takes matters into his own hands and becomes a masked vigilante, determined to deliver justice in his own way.
But the beauty of this game lies in the fact that players get to decide the moral boundaries they are willing to cross to survive and protect those around them. Will you be a chivalrous crimefighter or a ruthless avenger? Will you prioritize protecting the innocent or will your quest for justice come before everything and everyone else?
The fate of the vigilante and the city lies in your hands.
The game is part of Out of the Blue Games’ anthology, An Out of the Blue Story, which aims to bring players unique and thought-provoking experiences that challenge moral boundaries. The Vigilante Diaries will be the first in the series, with future installments delving into other characters and situations throughout history, all with the same underlying question, “How far would you go to survive?”
With its upcoming release on Nintendo Switch and Steam, the developers have already made The Vigilante Diaries available for wishlisting on Steam, building anticipation for its arrival in 2024.
Players can look forward to immersing themselves in the vigilante’s world through his own journal, where they will be faced with choices that shape his path and the events that unfold. As players customize their alter ego’s name, appearance, and even set their own red lines as a crime fighter, they will also need to monitor police radio calls, watch TV news, and solve complex riddles sent by a serial killer in their pursuit of justice.
But the game isn’t just about fighting crime; it’s about exploring the political meanings behind every action. Players can choose to fight for equality, rights, and justice, or they can opt for a more law and order approach. And while the vigilante may not fit the conventional hero or role model mold, he commands fear and respect in the city, making every action and decision have a real impact.
Out of the Blue Games’ attention to detail and immersive storytelling have been evident in their previous titles, such as the award-winning Call of the Sea and American Arcadia. The Vigilante Diaries promises to continue this trend, offering players a unique gaming experience that challenges their moral compass and leaves a lasting impact.
