Curiously, three of the games that most feel like the 1970s I recognize aren't even set in the decade, and were released some time apart from each other.Sony's Heavy Rain was a somber interactive drama for the PS3 (and, soon, the PS4), and though set in 2011, its direction and story feel borrowed from 1970s detective (neo)noir. The story—the hunt for the Origami Killer—seems to take inspiration from the real-life case of the Zodiac Killer, who is believed to have murdered as many as seven people in the late 60s and early 70s in California, while taunting police with a series of cryptic letters. The case remains unsolved.Related, on Motherboard: How William Shatner Spent the 1970s Rhapsodizing About Tech for AT&T
