Parallax Protocol
A downloadable Murder Mystery
You are all fragments of the same consciousness — versions of the same investigator from different realities. By connecting your fragmented knowledge, you can uncover what truly happened… but only if you work together.
Players take on roles in a multiversal investigation where they can only communicate through limited, in-world channels. The group’s goal is to reconstruct a true sequence of events that led to the murder across various realities.
