All due to bring us a detective adventure set in one of history’s most overlooked corners — Leipzig, Germany, at the dawn of the 20th century.
You’ll step into the shoes of Detective Joseph Kreiser, a man with a sharp eye, and a sharper mind. Also, the misfortune of living in a city suddenly plagued by a string of grisly murders. We’re talking shadowy alleyways, tense interrogations, and the kind of clues that don’t give themselves up without a fight. Your mission? Crack four separate murder cases, each one tangled in secrets and lies.
