The game is said to have a very heavy focus on story and the story will be intended for mature audiences. There is a person going around killing people, seemingly at random, and whenever he does this, he leaves and origami crane in the palm of his victim's hand. The player controls one of four game's main characters to investigate and figure out, who is committing these atrocities. Out of the four characters, two have been shown to the public. The first, Norman Jayden, is a profiler for the FBI. In the level we have seen, he is investigating from whom the Origami Killer bought a blue car that was used in one of his murders. The second character, Madison Paige, is a reporter also looking for the Origami Killer. We see her in a dance club, where she believes the owner may know something that can help her with her investigation.
At any point in the game, the character you are controlling can die if you make a bad decision, however, there is no game over screen. If a character you control dies, then he or she will remain dead and the investigation will continue from another character's perspective. The game is also being praised for its beautiful graphics, and currently is in the Alpha state of development.

Gameplay
Although at first glance, it may seem like a Dragon's Lair type of game, the developers have expressly stated that at almost no point in the game is the control of the character taken away from the player. There are almost no cinemas to watch. There will be an investigation portion to the game, where the player can freely search anywhere he or she thinks they might find a hidden clue. There is another portion of the game that uses QTEs, mostly during fast paced action sequences, and this is used to immerse the character. The QTEs however are not static images prompting button presses, but rather, they are worked into the environment. At times multiple buttons will appear on screen which allow you to choose more then one event to occur and give you a choice that immediately affects the outcome. The quick time events will use every button on the PS3 controller as well as it's Sixaxis functionality.
