Problem
Many role-playing games lack compelling detective mechanics and are set in generic fantasy worlds, failing to deliver truly immersive and thought-provoking experiences. Players often lack agency in shaping the narrative, leading to predictable outcomes and limited replayability.
Solution
Sundog Games is developing "Ibru," a detective RPG set in a unique science-fantasy world inspired by Sumerian mythology and cyberpunk dystopias. As a detective brought to life by the gods, players investigate the disappearance of the goddess Inanna, uncovering secrets and conspiracies that challenge the nature of reality. The game emphasizes player choice and consequence, allowing players to shape the world through their actions and decisions in a non-linear story.
Target Audience
The primary audience is RPG fans who enjoy detective gameplay, rich lore, and player-driven narratives.
