The game revolves around the investigation of a criminal who shoots the art galleries owner and steals a painting captured by fascists in Catalonia inThe game is available on the PlayStation 4 platform and falls under the Adventure subcategory of games.

The game features a 2-dimensional third-person camera and relies on its point-and-click user interface. Revolution Software added crafting into the game, allowing players to create new items that are essential to progress further into the game's levels. The hotspot system, present in previous games, is still in use. There are special spots scattered across the levels, and standing on them triggers several actions for the players. The game also features character death scenes, where players can die if they react too slow or make a wrong decision. Upon death, the players spawn right before their death scene instead of starting from the last checkpoint.
