'Web of Lies' Part 1 by Jane Espenson and Ryan Scott |
What happened to Jack and Gwen on that "missing day" back in 2007 - the day that neither remembers? Is it possible that a young, paranoid conspiracy theorist actually stumbled into the chilling truth and what it means for Miracle Day?
'Torchwood: Web of Lies' is an episodic interactive experience for iOS that fuses together motion comic and gameplay elements to tell an original and digitally exclusive 'Torchwood' story. Players will participate in a parallel storyline to 'Torchwood: Miracle Day' that includes lead characters Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper – voiced by John Barrowman and Eve Myles.
'Torchwood: Web of Lies' runs alongside weekly premieres of 'Torchwood: Miracle Day', providing fans with a way to engage in the world of 'Torchwood' between episodes. It reveals a past day in the lives of Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper - a day they’ve both forgotten. The events of that day fuel a modern day conspiracy-laced treasure hunt, as Holly Mokri, voiced by Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse, Tru Calling, Buffy The Vampire Slayer), labours to uncover the secrets of Miracle Day.
Each week a new episode unlocks, allowing players to access another piece of original motion comic narrative and game which ties into and extends plot developments of the show, as well as providing new twists in its own narrative.
The first narrative and game will be released promotionally and the remaining nine can be purchased inside the app in packs of three, each for $0.99. A special bundle for all 10 narratives and game can be purchased for $2.99
