Unfortunately I didn't get to see the presentation of this or meet the dev at Adventure-X 2014, but the presentation of the game was captured by Adventure-Treff so here it is:
Absent was originally a student film completed in 2010 by James Fenton. Within the same year, the plot and characters were expanded into a short adventure game entitled "Absent: Part I - Innocent Until Proven Guilty" with the intention of each of the three proposed parts being released monthly.

The project, however, expanded over the following months and years into a full-length adventure game experience, gaining a brand new MP3 soundtrack, and full voice acting. "Absent: The Game" was released on October 3rd 2013 and is available for free from Desura here:
