Hidden Agenda follows homicide detective Becky Marney and district attorney Felicity Graves as they investigate doubts about a convicted serial killer's guilt. Five years after the Trapper killer's arrest, Finn awaits execution while maintaining his innocence, prompting both women to reexamine the case. Players shape the narrative through a companion smartphone app that connects to the PS4, making choices that affect character relationships, uncover evidence, and determine the true identity of the killer. The game features both single-player story mode and competitive multiplayer, where participants pursue hidden objectives. Through quick-time events, clue searches, and dialogue choices tracked via the app's logbook system, players navigate three chapters of branching storylines that can lead to multiple conclusions, including the possibility of becoming a suspect themselves. Choice and consequence. Who can you trust? Can you hold your nerve in the hunt for the infamous ‘Trapper’ killer? Use your mobile device to make tough decisions that impact the branching storyline in this PS4 exclusive crime thriller from the PlayLink range. You never know what’s lurking around each dark and sinister corner... But this chilling mystery has a twist from the very start: bring up to five friends into play and you’ll each have an objective to work towards. Will you be driving towards a common goal, or working against each other? Influence is power and each choice may alter the unfolding story… but how far will you go to fulfil your own agenda?
