## Report on the Death of Robert Evergreen

ON THE RADAR

PC gaming fans are known to mourn for some of the features that were lost when games went all digital. Feelies - physical objects used in puzzles or simply for scene-setting - are one thing that vanished long ago. But a few developers are bringing them back, and Report on the Death of Robert Evergreen is going the extra mile.

The player takes on the role of the editor-in-chief of a tiny newspaper circa 1991\. Consolidation means that one-paper towns are now the norm, and your own rag is about to lose. Along comes the untimely death of a notable local figure, a story with the potential to turn your fortunes around - provided you're willing to be flexible with your ethics.

The objective is to report on Evergreen's passing while dealing with your own personal woes and those of the paper. As a journalist, your objective is to get to the bottom of what's going on. As editor-in-chief, your objective is to make the story interesting. As with some other journalism-themed games (such as Times & Galaxy, featured here a few months back), the player gets to choose how facts are presented. Turn up something salacious, and you can report it honestly, sensationalize it for sales, or cover it up to protect those involved.

Report on the Death of Robert Evergreen features a deluxe edition with some very interesting features. It includes a physical version of the Evergreen file, reporter's notebooks and a set of minitapes along with a 90s-style portable tape player to listen to them. Fans of recent feelie-based detective games should find this very interesting.

Report on the Death of Robert Evergreen is pending a release date.
