Find clues and make a quick getaway

Targeted tasks you with trying to escape the clutches of The Don, coming soon to Android
  • Discover clues and live long enough to escape
  • Compete in leaderboards across the globe
  • Try out multiple difficulty levels to suit your fancy

Glitchy Frame Studio has announced the upcoming launch of Targeted, the studio's investigative puzzler where one wrong move means Game Over. As an ex-mafia member, you'll have to keep your wits about you as you try to uncover clues in an underground garage to testify against The Don. You'll have to stay vigilant, though - given you're the titular target.

In Targeted, you'll need to observe and escape once you spot anything incriminating before the gangsters attack. There are over a hundred clues to scour the scene for, with a special achievement system you can try your hand at. If you're feeling a little competitive, you can even see if your skills are on point on the global leaderboards.

The game also features multiple difficulty levels to keep those rage-quit-inducing fits at bay. After the official release, you can look forward to a new mode as well - in particular, the Anomaly mode will welcome paranormal phenomena to the fray to spice things up a little.
