Studio Reset Reveals The Eventide, a Parallax-Driven Neon-Noir Detective Game

It tests perspective-driven deduction by making evidence interpretation depend on which two agents players choose.

Overview

  • Studio Reset revealed The Eventide on Wednesday, July 29, 2026 with a debut trailer that showed a painterly, fixed-camera 3D neon-noir city inspired by Canadian locales.
  • The core mechanic, called Parallax Deduction, asks players to assign two agents to each case so that what is discovered and how clues are framed change with each agent pairing.
  • The studio introduced three starting agents — Evelyn “Eve” Atwood, Sam “Brass” Hingle, and Kira — who approach investigations through science, social reading, and psychic perception respectively.
  • Studio Reset says The Eventide is in early development, has no announced release date, and is available to wishlist on Steam for updates.
  • The studio was formed by veterans Kaelin Lavallée, Kris Schoneberg, and Francis Lacuna, whose BioWare-era experience shapes the game's party-based narrative design and could push mystery games toward more subjective, character-led investigations.
