Conspiracy theories can be an interesting thought exercise or an all-consuming obsession. But they can rarely be verified. What if there is a group of individuals with all the evidence required to unwrap such debates as MK Ultra, the JFK assassination, or the moon landings? Majestic Nights, the upcoming episodic game from developer Epiphany Games, is built on the idea of a shadowy cabal holding all these secrets, and the intrigue and deceit that surrounds them. I had the chance to play Chapter 0, a small introductory vignette to the 6 episode arc set to release at the end of the month.
Set in a grimy 1980’s alternate reality with comic book aesthetics, Majestic Nights has you controlling a mysterious character known simply as Cardholder. With clear, though dubious, ties to the greater US intelligence system, Cardholder appears dead set on unraveling some mysteries and coverups. This short initial chapter focuses on the moon landing and the search for a bizarro Stanley Kubric for questioning.
