Belfast-based indie game studio releases new trailer for their upcoming supernatural adventure game, Jennifer Wilde: Unlikely Revolutionaries
The long-awaited trailer kicks off with Jennifer’s dramatic revelation about the recent death of her father. Believing it was no 'accident', she attempts to use her childhood gift to call his spirit back. Unwittingly, the ghost recalled is that of Oscar Wilde, the famous Irish playwright.
From Jennifer's ability to talk to spirits, to Oscar using his ghostly powers to sneak around invisibly, the trailer showcases the option to take control of both characters. There is also a sneak peak at some of the environmental puzzles ready to vex your brain along the way.

Embroiled in death, espionage and revolution

In a thrilling, witty and melancholic adventure, Jennifer and Oscar uncover dark secrets, deal with the loss of a shared love and develop a deep friendship along the way.
