Pinkerton Road's adventure game Moebius has been flying under the radar since it was crowdfunded in May of last year. But a new gameplay trailer showing off an alpha build of the game should help pique interest in Jane Jensen's new title.

The game will follow Malachi Rector as he follows the trail of a dead politician's wife. He has a photographic memory and a keen sense of history that aids him in his travels. The video offers a little bit of the game play mechanics, but is more a story tease than anything else. Kickstarter backers have gotten a copy of the early game to provide feedback on the game's future direction.

The game is expected to come out on PC, Mac, Linux and iPad sometime later this year.

      4 seconds in, why can we see the front on the right guy's face in the reflection?? In fact, seeing as the water is behind him, why the hell do we see his reflection in it at all?

      Worst. Water reflections. Ever.

      If you're not gonna do it properly, just have some opaque liquid, or make it have a sky reflection.

        haha yes you are right. The protagonist's name also makes me giggle.... doesn't sound right. Alpha I know, but not "looking" very nice (or current gen) though... hmm, and boring. One for the die hard fans I guess.

        I think it's a shader artifact and not really the way they wanted it to work.

      Is she using Sims models for the characters? The voices sound good, but good golly, those noodle arms...

        Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I think they better go back and hire a different character animator and graphic designer.

      Ugh. I really want the game to be good since I backed it, and I'm sure the writing will be good since it's by Jane Jensen, but I really do not like the noodle arms.

      I strongly considered backing this but it came out just as I was getting Kickstarter fatigue. Hopefully it turns out OK but I dunno ...
