About

You are tasked with helping Cat, a culture journalist caught up in a whistleblowing case. She reaches out to you via text message, and your job is to guide her through a series of challenges and situations to help her investigate and...stay alive! Search clues on the Web, face random events, help her find her way using navigation apps, but beware, your choices will have consequences! The story plays out in real time during several days: you will receive notifications throughout your day as Cat is sending you new messages. You can directly answer or catch up later when you’re available. Reach one of the different endings and then you'll be able to jump back to earlier points in the story, see what happens when you make a different choice, and explore different paths. Somewhere is a realistic and immersive interactive fiction that will push you to check if you have some news.

    Somewhere has a really good narrative idea, but then builds a game around it that isn’t particularly enjoyable. Since most of the game is just text messages, it’s not like its poor decisions render it unplayable, but it does feel like something that was kind of slapped together and not refined nearly enough. In some ways, this might make Somewhere feel like a genuine interactive experience with a real person, but over the course of the game, even this tenuous reading on the game becomes impossible to maintain.
