Michael wakes in a dark, ruined world with no memory of who he is or what happened outside, and he has to piece it together while reality around him seems to be fading away. Dead Synchronicity is a point-and-click adventure, the first part of a series, set after a catastrophe known as the Great Wave.
The tone is bleak and unsparing, built around identity, loss and a dying universe, and the story carries a sense of urgency as time itself begins to dissolve. It is single-player and driven by puzzles and dialogue. It suits adventure fans who want a mature, grim story rather than a light one.
