Titled Lili, the game is a modern "screen-life thriller" in which players experience Shakespeare's bloodiest story through Lady MacBeth's personal devices.
According to a press release, Lili is set in a "stylised, neo-noir version" of modern-day Iran. Blending live-action footage with interactive elements, it reimagines MacBeth's witches as hackers who break into Lady MacBeth's phone, computer etc, "putting the player at the heart of the story and given them a unique perspective into the world of the play."
