The Last Case of Benedict Fox

Publisher Rogue Games and developer Plot Twist shared a new gameplay trailer for The Last Case of Benedict Fox at the Future Games Show.

Check it out below:


Here’s a rundown on the June-announced game:

The Last Case of Benedict Fox

Descend into a limbo of decaying memories as Benedict Fox, a self-proclaimed detective bound to his demon companion. Use that unholy bond to explore the minds of the recently deceased in search of clues as you uncover the mysteries of a massive, decrepit mansion — the site to a young couple’s grisly murder, and the disappearance of their child. Immerse yourself in a dark, intriguing world full of secret organizations, forbidden rituals, and cold-blooded crimes in an arcane adventure brought to life through a fascinating Burton-esque art style.

Features

  • Evocatively-crafted metroidvania – Fight demons, explore the subconscious, and solve elaborate puzzles in a labyrinthian adventure inspired by Lovecraft’s nightmares, noir pulp fiction, and early 20th-century jazz music.
  • Descent into Limbo – Use your bond with the demon to explore the minds of the recently deceased in your last chance to get a “testimony”. Jump into surreal worlds where memories, emotions, and traumas take on a physical form.
  • A Grim Mystery – Uncover the secrets of an old mansion where a couple has been found slain, and their child has gone missing. Get drawn into a dark, yet intimate intrigue that will have you face the family’s demons – both figuratively and literally!
  • Demon-Enhanced Combat – Use your weapons, demon powers, and surroundings in creative combinations to overcome demons, monsters, and cultists – but remember that concentration and a tactical approach are your greatest assets.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox is coming to Windows PC (Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S sometime in spring 2023. The game will also be on Xbox Game Pass day one.
