Indie game developer and publisher Cobalt Lane has released a new developer commentary for their upcoming game, Imprinted.

Enjoy the video above as the game will be released sometime this year.

Imprinted

Take on the role of a uniquely talented, but jaded sound engineer who enters a spiral of dark creativity. You specialize in restoring heavily damaged audio recordings: from helping musicians with botched live performances to supporting the police with forensic evidence over to your eccentric friends bugging you about capturing ghostly voices – you've seen and heard it all. However… a new job that has just come in that takes you by surprise.

Unravel the mystery of late 1970s experimental musician Viola Fossati. Her recently discovered cassette tapes conceal haunting melodies and other fragments of her mysterious life, up until her demise. You take on the task of exhuming Viola's musical body of work, tape by tape, drifting into a spiral of creative obsession that will take over Vincent's life in its entirety. The more you recover Viola's art, the more you start falling into a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories about her life and her obsessions, unsettling found footage posted in obscure forums, and the ghosts from your own past.

A "fake OS" game and a highly detailed simulation: Explore Vince's life by booting up his PC running on ArdesiaOS ("The Operating System For The Ages"). Use dozens of fully functioning programs – from media players to the Oneiric browser to a realistic terminal. Rummage through all of his old files, photos and musical fragments. Become Vincent in chat messages and emails and shape the relationships with his colleagues and friends. Determine the outcome of Vince's artistic process as you dig deeper into his unconscious mind and the dark side of creativity as he gets closer to the truth about Viola Fossati. Liberate song ideas that have been sleeping inside of him and combine his rough material to record your own versions of his music and lyrics.
