David Jaffe was sitting in front of me in a demo room at Sony’s game headquarters in San Mateo, Calif. With decades of experience, the creator of Twisted Metal and God of War was there to show me his new game, Drawn to Death. He was looking very respectable.

Jaffe’s team at The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency has worked on the unconventional game for more than three years, and it is finally ready for its debut on April 4 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. For the first month, Drawn to Death will be a free title for PlayStation Plus subscribers. After that, it will be a $20 purchase.
