Players will explore an eerie and destitute world on a mission to discover the truth behind his traumatic memory. GET EVEN’s twisted tale will have players questioning their perceptions of reality and the true meaning of justice as they unravel the mystery of how Cole ended up in the asylum and the fate of that teenage girl. In this episode, composer OLIVIER DERIVIERE while sharing some of the story points of the game, delivers detailed insights from four tracks of his original score to GET EVEN.
