Right now, the game only includes the first episode of Vanova's Stories. But this first case is just the beginning… More episodes are on the way in free future updates!
Halfway between a board game and a video game, Vanova's Stories is an investigative adventure for 2 to 4 players. Do you like wacky, colorful worlds, cooperating with your friends, and narrative point-and-clicks? Then this game is for you!
Discover a hand-drawn world and explore the city of Vanova to find clues about the committed crimes. Whether in 2D or 3D, your observational skills will be your greatest assets!
Each location you investigate includes a number of unusual and eccentric characters. Some may refuse to talk to you... Perhaps your teammates will have better luck?
Agility, intimidation, strength, charm—everyone has their own unique ability that will lead them to clues only they can uncover. Your adventure and dialogue options will vary depending on your detective, so choose wisely!
A suspect is refusing to talk to you, and you want to show him evidence to get him to confess? Swap clues with a teammate and get them to do it for you!
Different investigations require different approaches. Each one will feature a new mechanic, forcing you to rethink the way you investigate.
Think you've discovered the truth? Get together with your friends and tell your boss what you've found, linking all the pieces together. Make sure everyone agrees, as a wrong hypothesis could cost you dearly.
