“Murdered: Soul Suspect” is only a few weeks away and, just like in college, it’s time to cram a bunch of information into your head at the last minute.  There may be an exam, but there certainly won’t be any extra credit.

Square Enix has put out a new five(!) minute trailer showcasing some of the key elements featured in the upcoming game.  The trailer goes into brief details about gameplay mechanics, enemy types, and some small story beats.  So if you’re opposed to tiny spoilers, you may want to avoid the trailer below.  However, if you want to know what “Murdered: Soul Suspect” is all about, this trailer will put you on the right course.

In the upcoming game players will take on the role of Detective O’Connor, a cop who gets murdered in the midst of an investigation and must now solve the mystery surrounding his death.  The game takes place in Salem, Massachusetts so O’Connor will also have to contend with the wronged spirits of the Salem Witch trials and other trapped souls if he wants to figure out who murdered him.

The game is due on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on June 3rd.
