Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing - Prolog Oynayın

Bu Oyun Hakkında

NOTE: This free game is the official prologue to our main game Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing. You will solve a tricky case that takes place right before the main storyline of The Ebbing. This case is not part of the main game but serves as the narrative link between Part 1 and Part 2 of the Inspector Schmidt series.

Valentin Schmidt, a Bavarian civil servant with truly bad timing, actually just wants to go on a well-deserved vacation to the North Sea. But right from the start, this is overshadowed by a drama: The captain of the steamship that is bringing Valentin and the other passengers to an idyllic North Sea island suddenly collapses during lunch and struggles for his life.

Was the captain poisoned? Valentin is tasked with finding out what happened – and discovers a web of relationships, dependencies, and motives among the ship's crew and passengers that he must unravel to find the true culprit.
