In a world where people can literally send their greetings as digital echoes, you play as Max, a curmudgeonly detective who has a knack for unraveling the chaos of social miscommunication. One day, an unusual complaint about 'stolen hellos' leads you on a wild investigation through a city layered with eccentric characters, fantastical technologies, and deep-rooted secrets. As Max interacts with various denizens of the city, he gathers evidence, proposes theories, and unearths a web of deceit extending beyond mere greetings. Players will make choices that affect the outcome of the narrative, choosing to be witty, sarcastic, or empathetic while uncovering the truth. Each encounter reveals new clues and challenges, turning an otherwise mundane social convention into a bizarre caper filled with humor and intrigue.
