    Acolyte is a dynamic narrative ARG/detective game that gives you your own Acolyte; a digital assistant you can talk to freely without pre-defined dialogue options. Just like a real conversation.

    Become an employee of Nanomax, a well-funded tech start-up looking to change the face of consumer AI with its upcoming Acolyte application. As a remote-worker for the company, you'll interact with its employees and absorb its culture. But unexplained firings, missing employees and a strange, highly-classified bug in the Acolyte code-base point to something being very wrong.

    As you work with your new Acolyte, who seems to be intrinsically caught up in the company's problems, you'll find yourself at the very heart of the conspiracy.

    A well-written mystery hamstrung by its own central feature, Acolyte has some of the hardest video game puzzles you’ll ever solve. Fans of ARGs might find themselves on familiar ground, but for everyone else, Acolyte is a fairly unique proposition that will be unlike anything you’ve ever played before. Ana is an unreliable companion, but this ride is definitely worth it.

    What is successful, however, is the way you are forced to go outside the game. Googling answers, looking up articles on news sites, decoding images and audio clips, searching Twitter, delving into source files and deciphering codes. You do it all, although you have to know your way around the Internet and your PC. Acolyte is an intriguing and original detective game, but due to the high technological threshold not for everyone.
