Original Steam description

Shrink-wrap

You are an employee of 36 years at EzSoft, the inexplicably successful computer software company. And on your anniversary without fanfare or severance you are let go by your chipper, wealthy boss Diana whose spotless reputation precedes her. 

But there's a dark secret under that flawless exterior.

Before you left you stealthily picked up a disc from the EzSoft archives. According to water cooler chatter there's something hidden within it Diana doesn't want the public to see. On the disc is a seemingly cozy unfinished adventure game about a young detective searching for her missing friend. 

What's so special about this game and what lies beneath its surface?

The Investigation

Marceline Magpie is a detective game. You will explore detailed environments, talk to suspects, pick up items and solve puzzles to get closer to your goals.

It is also a love letter to the adventure games of the 90s, you'll have to pay close attention to your surroundings, with no blue mist, green lights and bright red paint to guide you. 

With that said, Marceline Magpie lacks a time limit or Sierra style soft locks, so you can soak in and solve the mystery at your own pace. So go ahead, take your time, you've got all of it in the world…
