Detective This is the Zodiac Speaking coming out in September – review

Back in 2018, the studio Punch punk games announced a game This is the Zodiac Speaking. The first-person adventure detective was about to be released in 2019, but plans had changed. And only now with the support of the publisher Klabater named release date.

This is the Zodiac Speaking is based on real facts: the story of an American serial killer known as the Zodiac. The script of the game This Is the Zodiac Speaking was written by Lukash Orbitovsky – an add-on was created on his radio play Father’s Promise to the survivor This war of mine.

This is the Zodiac speaking – this is how one of the letters that an unknown maniac sent out committed his crimes from 1968 to 1969. He attributed to himself 37 murders, although only five of them were confirmed.

Some of the Zodiac’s ciphers have remained unsolved, including his real name, which the killer indicated in one of the letters. So it is not surprising that a whole series of ciphers and puzzles awaits us in the game. And three endings that depend on the success achieved.

This is the Zodiac speaking – journalist Robert Harnell, following the trail of a serial killer in America’s seventies. The game world is not very realistic, but it is full of references to classic films. The game is released on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on September 24th.
