by The Last Case of Benedict Fox might sound like the name of a new Wes Anderson movie, but you won’t find perfectly symmetrical shots or custom pastel stationery here. The latest title from Rogue Games and Plot Twist is a Metroidvania with a gothic flair, and it looks like it will appeal to both classic 2D Metroid fans and anyone familiar with the Souls games’ challenging combat.
Rather than opening in a fantasy world, The Last Case of Benedict Fox begins in 1925 Boston, where a missing family literally sends the titular detective on a journey within himself as he battles demons and uncovers the truth.
