Philip

You hear that signal too? Someone’s broadcasting from under the bridge.

Philip

A voice. Three notes. Then a street name that doesn’t exist anymore. Someone wants to be found.

Philip

The night crew. A courier with a broken radio. And a woman who swears the bridge lights blink in code.

Philip

Then take the stairs by the old food cart. When the signal gets louder, you’re going the right way. I’ll watch your back.

Philip

Ask for June. Tell her Philip sent you. She’ll trade a story for a hot coffee—and she knows who’s on the other end of that radio.

Philip

Watch the east span. Three short flashes, one long. A meeting place, if you know how to read it. See you there after midnight.

Philip

You hear that signal too? Someone’s broadcasting from under the bridge.

Multiplayer with all your friends.

Up to 100 players.

Six friends at Burnside: Man jumping, Witch dashing, Woman running, Detective and Ghost chatting, and Dog running alongside them — Six friends. One world. Staged in Quill's multiplayer engine, with in-game chat.
