About Jessika

Dear Jessika, I have so many questionsso many questions that are haunting me sincethen. I know we had lots of dissensions in the past. And sure, I have to admit that I wasnt the best father there iseverybody has his faults and his crosses to bear. Anyway, the important thing is, you have to learn from your mistakes. But right now, its too late for redemption, too late to say Im sorry. Theres no way I can put right the terrible wrong that Ive done because of what you did and for whatever reason you did this. All I can think of is: WHY? Was this your last resort? If you wouldve talked to me, we couldve found a remedy, a way outsomehow. I cant blame you for keeping silence and a low profile. I can only blame myself. No matter what others will say, for my emotional well-being, I want to no, I have to find out what happened and what made you do this. I hired professionals that will be able to bring light into the darkness, inquiring your whereabouts and examine your intentions. And maybe, but just maybe, they can ease my conscience. At least for the time being. Love always. Dad

What's your job?

In this full motion video mystery adventure you are part of a group that specializes in processing digital footprints of deceased people - all on behalf of the relatives. What at first seems to be a job like any other quickly develops into a dark drama with twists and turns. All you need is your laptop and some basic background info about the victim in this case its all about Jessika. Access her database and browse her files by typing different search terms. These will give you access to video clips, audio files, notes, and news articles. Share those with the client and your colleagues to dig even deeper. Use your savvy and combine the facts to unfold the true story of Jessika.

The tragic story of Jessika will soon be known to all the thrilling investigative Full Motion Video (FMV) game will launch on Windows, Mac, and Linux via Steam next Tuesday, August 25, 2020. Today, publisher Assemble Entertainment shares another behind-the-scenes developer diary and this time, we take a look inside of the titular characters troubled psyche through the eyes of her creators. In the developer diary, TriTrie Games developers showcase how the team did extensive research to find the right actress to portray Jessika. The developers explain how the current political climate and real-world events helped shape the story of Jessika, which ultimately led to the perfect casting. From the beginning, the TriTrie Games team had a vision: portray Jessika as a completely normal person and find someone who perfectly embodies this vision. While more than 50 women from all over Germany applied for the part, it was theatre and film actress Lisa Sophie Kusz who took home the leading role. The team explains how Lisas creative freedom allowed her to take an active role in various creative processes. As Lisa became more and more familiar with the project and the character, she was able to add extra depth to the emotional passages of the game. "We didn't want to portray Jessika as a complete psychopath, but rather, someone completely normal and capable of expressing themselves," said Sarah Abouzari, Programmer, TriTrie Games.

Today, publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer TriTrieGames invite you to go behind the scenes of Jessika, the new investigative Full Motion Video (FMV) game launching on Windows, Mac, and Linux via Steam on August 25, 2020. In Jessika, youll be tasked with the intensely emotional job of a lifetime as you investigate the suicide of the titular character. Hired by her father after her untimely demise, youll need to use your detective know-how and intuition to uncover clues about what happened, and ultimately, the details of her last gripping moments. In the new behind-the-scenes trailer, the developers reveal the inspiration behind Jessika and why they sought out an FMV format to tell the story of her tragic end. Additionally, TriTrie Games expands upon the underlying message in the game, explaining how their personal views on the subversive topic evolved while in the development process. We are used to serious topics being discussed in movies. However, its rather rarely seen in games, said Jessika Game Designer, Pierre Schlmp. That was one of the main motivations for me to participate in this project.
