Murdered: Soul Suspect – Announcement Trailer

Square Enix has released the first trailer for Murdered: Soul Suspect, its upcoming action/adventure game.

Murdered: Soul Suspect sees players take the role of Ronan O’Connor, a detective with a checkered past, whose life is brought to an untimely end by a brutal and relentless killer. Unable to move on and stuck in the limbo world of Dusk, he won’t find peace until he can bring his killer to justice from the afterlife.

Using his new-found supernatural abilities, Ronan is free to explore the town of Salem, Massachusetts, from his shadowy afterlife. Unable to communicate with the detectives on his case, Ronan must read the minds of the living, influencing their thoughts and actions. As part of his investigation, he must interrogate the ghosts of Salem’s past citizens to piece together the puzzle, while battling demonic spirits to save his soul and uncover the truth about who is responsible for his death.

Murdered: Soul Suspect will be available early 2014 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
