<p>The 2019 game, which racked up prize after prize during last year’s award season, tells the story of a drunken detective stumbling through a murder mystery that threatens to set a small town ablaze in a fictional universe inspired by Robert Kurvitz’s 2013 novel “Sacred and Terrible Air.” </p>
<p>It’s been widely praised for its use of text and irreverent humor to stand out in the narrative storytelling space. </p>
<p>For its part, dj2 has been creeping around the world of video game adaptations for a few years.
