The project uses volumetric capture, live action, and Unity to place viewers inside a first-person detective narrative rather than presenting a conventional screen series. It is structured as five 15-minute episodes and is being made with Jacaranda Productions, Truant Pictures, and New Canvas, with Pico Technology attached as commissioning partner. The listed release window is Q4 2026, while the target hardware remains unannounced.
