EXCLUSIVE: Nick and Jon Hamm’s Free Turn Entertainment has set a hybrid game-podcast mystery about the Cold War as its next project.
The indie has partnered with Spotify on Cold Tapes: Winter Over, which it has described as a “true-crime style audio game set in the frozen and isolated world of an Antarctic winter.” Listeners have to figure out the mystery by wading through a cache of audio files, including police interviews, victim’s audio diaries and evidence in the immersive series.
