name of game where you help kidnapped man

Slam · 2 Mar 2020 at 17:16

last year I saw an intriguing trailer for an indie game. There was a man who had been kidnapped and needs your help to escape. I think he has access to a computer and so you type messages to him. He is scared and desperate and can go a bit crazy.

Anyone know what game this is?

That's it! No wait The one I amthinking of had a darker theme.

Still searching for it. In the meantime I found a trailer for Twelve Minutes. that looks pretty good

Hardly an indie game is it?

Isn't it? I'd never heard of it...
TBH, it was all I could find that really involved kidnapping. Not got much more to go on.

No prob. The talking via computer helped the google fu searching nail it down.

He didn't say it was, he said he watched the trailer for it last year.

I remember I had a Sega master system II, and if you switched on without a cart in, it loaded Alex Kidd.
