About This Game

What can you expect?


We affectionately call it "queer cheesy trash". The 90s FMVs had their own charm and that included exaggerated acting, exaggerated characters and a penchant for hoarding items. We want to get back to that.

  • 100% FMV Point and Click Adventure Game
  • 2 alternating playable main characters
  • 15 different playable locations in Austria
  • 13 interactive NPCs
  • classic point and click puzzles!

Story


Markus was recently a pretty normal average guy. He has no particular ambitions in life and keeps his head above water as a photographer of photo books of questionable quality. But when he is plagued by nightmares, he starts to investigate. And a letter addressed to him, but with the wrong surname, changes his life completely.



The blood of a time-honored family of Shadowhunters beats in his heart. And with it comes a responsibility to his fellow man. For the Shadowhunters are destined to fight demonic beings, so-called 'shadows'. One such monster is currently killing in Vienna and has already claimed countless victims. Will Markus be up to the task?



But not only the supernatural plagues our young Shadowhunter. His publisher has big plans for a book that Markus himself hasn't even written. Will his presence in the public eye be advantageous, or will it hinder his existence as a Shadowhunter?



Then there's also his love life, which takes off at a most inconvenient time. There's Claudia, the secretary, but also Ludwig, the charismatic digital designer.

And then there's Ro. A young woman who suddenly appears everywhere the shadow is. What's the story behind her?
