It Found …

It Found … follows in the wake of those narrative-style adventures that try to evoke feelings for the player through restrained interactivity although sufficient to immerse ourselves in their own universes, usually through a very personal staging. And this is the case of a title that also debuts on PC along with the version for iOS device and that proposes us to live Kasio's personal situation in the distant month of December 1993, when he decides to destroy his newspaper. The title deals with topics such as homecoming, personal acceptance and the possibility of leaving the past behind, literally erasing everything.
