That&#8217;s the sort of thinking I can get behind, especially if it involves a dead fish with no obvious purpose that you carry around the entire game. It&#8217;s like a metaphor for Miranda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you haven&#8217;t played Mass Effect 3, and you plan to, and you haven&#8217;t already accidentally found out how it ends in a YouTube comment, the following description might be a bit spoilerish. You&#8217;ve been warned.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finding Shepard is set after the controversial Mass Effect 3 finish (the one where the Reapers are destroyed), and sees Jack under house arrest for &#8211; what else, really &#8211; punching Admiral Hackett. With Commander Shepard assumed dead, Jack&#8217;s off on a mission to prove he isn&#8217;t, and will use every F-bomb at her disposal to make sure of that.<\/p>\n<p>According to the creator, the game will also feature Wrex, Kasumi, and Miranda. See, I totally called it on the useless dead fish.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on when we&#8217;ll be able to play this, but a demo is reportedly &#8220;in the works&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
