First look at Square Enix's quirky paranormal detective sim.
There's something rather lovable about Square Enix's handling of financial hardship. The company announced an extraordinary loss earlier this year, cue the resignation of its CEO, and has failed to achieve desired returns on Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider despite the latter selling in the region of four million copies worldwide. A publisher like Activision might have taken the opportunity to dig in, cutting riskier projects and doubling-down on sturdy, banal big hitters. Instead, Square Enix is running around pimping the likes of Murdered: Soul Suspect, a spectral detective 'em up that couldn't be less "triple-A" if it shipped in Middle English, wearing a top hat and cane.
