Gameplay
Hidden Agenda is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective.[1] The player takes control of homicide detective Becky Marney and district attorney Felicity Graves, both of whom are involved in the case of a serial killer known as The Trapper.[2] The game features quick time events that determine the outcome of the story, including a character's death or survival. With the PlayLink feature, others may join the game to vote for a specific decision to be made, using their Android or iOS smartphones. In competitive mode, one player will at some point receive a secret objective, or Hidden Agenda, which is intended to create conflict between the players as they try to prevent it from happening.[1][3][4]

Release
Hidden Agenda was announced at E3 2017,[4] along with a launch trailer promoting support for the PlayLink feature.[3]
