Description
VIRGINIA is a first person interactive drama. It is the story of a recently graduated FBI agent and her partner as they seek to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a young boy. In the birthplace of America nothing is quite what it seems.
History
VIRGINIA is the first game concept we've brought into production since forming Variable State. Inspired by our collective love of 90s TV dramas like Twin Peaks, The X-Files and The Outer Limits, we wanted to create a game which captured their mixture of the inexplicable, the absurd and the mundane. Our missing person drama is set in a world both familiar and strange and tells a story unlike any featured in a game before. VIRGINIA has been in development since early 2014.
