Sorry, James casts players as James, a security engineer at Mantis Corp, a tech company that specializes in weapons. Which is why it’s very, very odd that James’ current job involves going through the text files and chat logs of a couple of people in a romantic relationship. Why does his employer have him doing this, and what will he find buried in this strange relationship?
Players will need to read through chat logs, diaries, text, and other private moments in these lives throughout Sorry, James. Some of these might require a little bit of hacking courtesy of a Sudoku/Minesweeper minigame to gain access to, but players will need to be paying attention to what is going on between the two people in the various messages. The secret to why James has been tasked with this, as well as some unsettling thoughts on existence, lie buried within these seemingly-innocuous messages.
Sorry, James draws from real-world conversations and research to make the chat feel real, but done up with a retro PC visual style to create a sense of eerie loneliness. Offering an intriguing story buried in normal conversation, the game looks to give players some intriguing revelations for their digital spying.
Sorry, James is available for $ 4.99 on Steam. For more information on the game and developer Konstructors Entertainment, you can head to the developer’s site or follow them on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
