About the Game

Arthur Marley is a professional Paranormal Debunker.

For twenty years he has used science, deductive logic, and a healthy dose of arrogance to prove that every ghost is just a projection and every monster is just a well-made costume. He is a man of facts in a world of frauds.

He was the best at denying the impossible… until he accidentally summoned it.

Enter Murray.

A chaotic, playful, electric Imp. He is bound to Arthur and subject to physics laws, yet he cannot directly interact with it and remains invisible to everyone else.

Now Arthur must continue his investigations while dragging around a supernatural partner he refuses to believe in.

Impirical Evidence is a comedy adventure that blends the inventory-based gameplay of 90s classics with a modern, gamepad-friendly presentation.

  • The skeptic and the spark: You control Arthur, but you manage the chaos. Use Arthur to explore, collect, use items, talk and observe. But when logic is not enough, unleash Murray. Direct him to short-circuit lights, posses electronics and trigger mechanisms that Arthur can't use.

  • Inventory-based puzzles: This is a game about using your brain and the pockets of you coat. Any object may be useful, even in absurd and questionable ways. But no "moon logic", just "lateral thinking".

  • Classic soul, modern body: There's nothing more fun than classic golden age adventures, but we ditched the mouse cursor in favor of direct control. Explore fluidly with your keyboard or gamepad, even from the comfort of your couch. Squeezing your brain is good, but so is relaxing your muscles.

"I've never believed in the supernatural, and I won't start now. Too much work, stress, and too little sleep can explain the hallucination of a sarcastic red demon. There's no imp... I mean... empirical evidence!"
