Now available: Free prologue to Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing!
The game now has exactly the name that best describes it: The plot is actually the prologue to the events that take place in the main game in tranquil Havstedt. From the moment Valentin leaves the ship, the story continues in The Ebbing. This means you can get in the mood for our release on April 7th by playing the prologue! You can also leave us reviews for the prologue now. We'd love to hear your feedback so that we can take it into account when developing the main game.
Accompany Valentin on his well-deserved vacation from the Bavarian civil service to the North Sea. Right at the beginning, this is overshadowed by a drama: The captain of the steamer taking Valentin and the other passengers to an idyllic North Sea island collapses out of the blue at lunch and is fighting for his life. Was the captain poisoned? Or was it the alcohol or the opium that was his undoing? Valentin's job is to find out what happened - and in doing so, he comes across a web of relationships, dependencies and motives among the ship's crew and passengers that must be penetrated in order to find the real culprit. Get the prologue here!
No? Then it's high time you did! If you sign up using the link below, you'll receive a whole boatload of information: The Inhabitants of Havstedt: A free PDF handbook with space for your notes to help you keep track of the characters' complex relationships and motives. Historical background information: Learn more about the NPCs and their lives in the 19th century. Perfect for delving deeper into the history of northern Germany. Personality test: Find out which of the three NPC archetypes you correspond to - General, Scholar or Juggler? Get the booklet!
