History

We wanted to make a meaningful story for the gamers, after completing it, to breathe out: "Wow, I should think it over!", instead of getting into the fridge to take some snacks. Listing all sources of our inspiration is hard. We've taken a little from Matrix, from Resident Evil and Lone Survivor . We've been inspired by The Last Door, True Detective, Fargo, etc. As an aftermath, our narrative designer Evgeni made one hell of a story. In a nutshell, the idea of The Long Reach game is that any progress indirectly leads to unexpected consequences. The consequences that can be terrible. Indeed terrible.
