Dry Drowning is a visual novel with a detective story at its core, set in a bleak future city. You follow Mordred Foley, a private investigator with a questionable reputation and a past he would rather forget, as he looks into a string of brutal murders that take their inspiration from Greek myths.
Play involves reading, examining evidence and confronting suspects, catching their lies by presenting the right proof. Choices affect how the story ends. It is a single-player game with a slow, text-heavy pace and mature themes, so it suits players who enjoy dark crime fiction and visual novels with investigation built in.
