In development for Xbox at the Gabriel Knight team at Sierra Bellevue by the Gabriel Knight team, the game was going to be a character-driven action game. While the company felt that the character and concept worked well, Sierra executives felt that the gameplay was lacking (as many would also tell you from the game's disappointing showing at E3 2001). Instead of scrapping the project altogether, the company has opted to put the project on hiatus, and try to redesign the gameplay of Drama while keeping the themes and art design intact. Eventually, the game was cancelled outright.
