’90s Music Nostalgia Game Riley & Rochelle

This story of pop and romance takes you back to the ’90s as it takes you on a journey. With a musical twist, a new kind of love story is coming to Steam. In Riley & Rochelle, a brand new mystery game from Sheinman Games, you will be tasked with unraveling the mystery behind the relationship between two musicians. In the 90s, Riley and Rochelle are two artists from different worlds.  They find themselves falling in and out of love as they work through their careers. From Detroit comes Riley Stone, a rocker who first became known through the indie music scene and is now a full-time musician.

The task is figuring out how, why, and what happened after the two collided and grew closer to each other. There are several different ways to piece together Riley & Rochelle’s story by combining music, journal entries, and information. It is even possible to wonder whether anyone will be able to reach a satisfactory conclusion. The game comes from Tim Sheinman and Natalia Yanchak, with art from Mack Chater, Murray Somerwolff, and Josiah Whitfield. It is a collaboration between Tim Sheinman and Natalia Yanchak.

She was a girl, and he was a boy. There have been several investigation-centric games by Sheinman in the past. There were a few games that I particularly enjoyed. Rivals, which had a similar mix of music and detective work. It had the player piecing together the history of a band and its break-up in an effort to put the pieces together. I find the general idea of pulling together bits and pieces of information in order to create a program. It is also worth mentioning that the music in this piece is excellent. It is a pretty unique style of detective game that blends the hunting for information with good tunes to make for a pretty unique experience.
