Lorelei and the Laser Eyes by Simogo - Part One

Death of the Reader

We discuss the first part of Simogo's 2024 mystery-puzzle-box video game 'Lorelei and the Laser Eyes'. The hotel Letztes Jahr, or 'last year' is a monochrome mansion with a splash of red. A body has been found in the courtyard, after our character, whoever she might be, was summomned, whyever she might be, by the enigmatic Renzo Nero, film director. Or is that all? Combination locks and impossible chronology abound as we attempt to unravel the life of Lorelei Weiss... We think.

We're also joined by Vanessa McCausland to talk about her newest novel 'The Last Illusion of Paige White'. An influencer is found dead and as her former best friend tries to juggle her job as a journalist with the emotional trauma of the case, it turns out Paige White might not be the only one in purgatory.

Thank you to Harper Collins for providing copies of The Last Illusion of Paige White, and for helping arrange our time with Vanessa.
