Vaudeville uses advanced AI technology to create dialogues in real-time. You can interact with the city's intriguing inhabitants using natural language, either by typing or talking into the microphone. Every conversation, every interaction, is unique to your game, offering an unrivalled level of immersion.

Investigate the brutal murders of three individuals, each with their own harrowing story. As you explore, you'll encounter a diverse cast of characters, each with their own secrets to hide.
