## About This Game
Loretta is a psychological thriller that would make the player an accessory to

story is about a woman, dealing with betrayal, her husband’s infidelity,

Conceptually and aesthetically, the game is inspired by the American art of
the twentieth century, the works of Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper, film noir

Reflecting Skin”, the books “1922” by Stephen King and “Lolita” by Vladimir
Nabokov.

Story

The year is 1947. Lora and Walter Harris move to a farm, which used to belong
to his parents. Walter is a writer and Lora is a housewife. Both are quite
unsuccessful.

The family is going through financial difficulties. The situation is also
complicated by the fact that Walter owes money to people from New York. And
although the husband keeps it a secret from his wife, Lora has a suspicion.
Moreover, she suspects him of cheating.

Lora understands that she gave up her job, her dreams and other opportunities
for her failure of a husband she doesn’t even love. Now she is stuck in a cold
empty house barely making ends meet.

As she struggles to make loan payments, she finds out that Walter’s publishing
house has insured his life. In the event of his death, the insurance sum would
be 30.000$. A plan is born in Lora’s mind.
