Hi, this is Djamil Kemal at Lexis Numérique and I’m glad to give you more details about Red Johnson’s Chronicles for PlayStation Network. You can check it out tomorrow on your PlayStation Store (with a two-week exclusivity for PlayStation Plus members and a 50% discount) and Wednesday, April 20 in Europe.
A fresh mix of investigation & adventure
For those of you who are into investigation games and who like noir crime movies, Red Johnson’s Chronicles is for you. We really tried to create a new genre with a mix of classic adventure and innovating gameplay. In this 8 to 10 hours long adventure, you’ll have to solve the murder of one of most hated men in town. As you explore dark worlds, find, analyse and use clues that will lead you to the truth. Question suspects, spot their lies, push them over the edge and, when necessary, confront them in quick-fire action scenes.
Kick some ass but also to use your brain
If you’re only into FPS, Red Johnson’s Chronicle is not for you. But at Lexis Numérique, we believe there is a real opportunity for bringing puzzles to the PlayStation in a very smooth way. In Red Johnson’s Chronicles, you’ll have to crack many different puzzles during the course of your investigation. We worked really hard to make sure they perfectly fit the script so that you always feel immersed. To add this feeling of immersion, we also tried our best to do a ‘tactile’ game. At many occasions, you’ll have to move and handle objects in 3D to see how to use them.
Astonishing backdrops and unique atmosphere
Red Johnson’s Chronicle is set in a very unique atmosphere with a quality of 3D environments rarely seen before on PlayStation Network. In Metropolis City, capital of crime, you’ll discover a world in which everything is dark, sharp and deadly. Even the humour.
Great value for money
And last but not least: at Lexis Numérique, we decided to make a bet. We believe that price is always an issue but we also think that downloadable content doesn’t mean cheap content. Hence we decided to offer you 8 to 10 hours of unique and immersive gameplay at only €9.99/£7.99. We worked for more than a year to achieve it, with three additional months to tune it. And as an independent developer, we preferred spending our money on game development as opposed to marketing. Hence, if you like the game, please tell your friends

Looks interesting.
Big adventure game fan myself ever since the old point and click games in the 80′s and 90′s.
Think I might get this. Can’t really go wrong with the 50% discount either.

Looks entertaining. I’ll certainly consider it.
And is it just me, or is there an F-word in that trailer? Not that I object, but some might, since there’s no warning or rating.

Looks interesting, almost as if it could be a tie-in with LA Noire. I love the art style. Will there be a demo?
PS. Am I the only one immature enough to find the name funny?

Hi Chimpanzee. We didn’t plan to release a demo. Instead, we decided to offer you a 50% discount on the retail price if you’re a Plus member. At $6.50, we believe you have a try

Looks interesting, and I’m a sucker for an adventure game.
Looks like I won’t be eating for a couple of days as the 50% discount has sold this for me too. (Yes, my budget is that tight at the moment)

Not right now. We are currently considering releasing a patch but we want to make sure we can do it properly with a great interactivity. Nothing is 100% decided yet but we’ll keep you posted on that. In won’t be before 2 months if we go that road

Looks beautifull but I don´t get the advanture/shooting combination. How does it work?
Posted on 20 April, 2011 at 2:22 pm by Djamil Kemal
Red Johnson’s Chronicles is an adventure/investigation game in which you have to solve many puzzles to move on, in addition to your typical adventure investigation/actions (confronting suspects, finding pieces of evidence etc…). All the puzzles perfectly fit the scenario and are all different from each other. From times to times, using your brain won’t be enough and you’ll have to fight. Fight sequences are based on a Quick Time Event system (if you’re not too familiar with that, it’s close to the system used in Heavy Rain)

Love adventure games, this looks awesome. I read that there would be a move patch. Will this be sooner or later? I’ll buy it regardless but think I’ll hold of playing till the patch.
Posted on 20 April, 2011 at 2:25 pm by Djamil Kemal
Hi – We’re currently considering releasing a patch for Move, but nothing is decided yet. We need to check out a few things first regarding ergonomics. If we decided to do it, it wouldn’t be before at least 2 months.
