SteamIMPRINTED - A GHOST STORY ABOUT CREATIVITY

Take on the role of Vince, a uniquely talented, but jaded sound engineer who enters a spiral of dark creativity.
You specialize in restoring heavily damaged audio recordings: from fixing botched live performances to forensic investigations, and even debunking audio ghosts. You’ve heard it all.
However… a new job has just come in that takes you by surprise.

⠀
THE MYSTERY OF VIOLA FOSSATI

The first time you hear her voice it's broken, almost unintelligible. You dig deeper, trying to understand more, and fall into a dark circle of creativity.
The tapes belonged to Viola Fossati, a musician who disappeared in Northern Italy almost fifty years ago.
What begins as a routine restoration job becomes an investigation into forgotten performances, impossible recordings, and Vince's own obsessions.
Every repaired tape reveals new leads and summons ghosts from Vince's own history. Is it dangerous to allow Viola's lost recordings to reignite Vincent's own artistic spirit?

AN OPERATING SYSTEM FULL OF PERSONAL HISTORY

Imprinted is a slow-burning psychological thriller played entirely inside a simulated desktop operating system. Sift through the details of Vince's complicated dating history, explore his connections through his old emails and browser, and play around with a variety of audio software.
