i_ni: I bothered to check how the game fits (present days) Bavaria, starting from game's title:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_common_surnames_in_Germany
> Data updated to 12 February 2021.
> 1. Müller, occupation (miller)
> 2. Schmidt, occupation (smith)
> 3. Schneider, occupation (tailor)
We actually have a Huber family in our neighborhood and I know a few Müllers :D

The village in the game looks very bavarian too!

Guter: The first game in this series was, and still is, a technical disaster AFAIK.
Series?

MarkoH01: They compare this one to another game. They even say that this is a debut title. I still can't see a series.
Both have "A Bavarian tale" in the title. ;-)

I deleted my previous post - I just realized that these seem to be two different games (thought they were identical). However they seem too similar for my taste so maybe this is just a reworked version of the "first" and they simply renamed the product after improving it? I will do some research.

Link says "totgeschwiegen" but the page shows "inspector Schmidt".

Yes, I'm sorry to say this, but think this is kind of a desperate "cover up". I don't wish the devs anything bad, but they need to come clear, really!

Just asked the devs on their discord:
"Das Spiel wurde umbenannt. A Bavarian Tale - Totgeschwiegen ist der alte Name."
"The Game has been renamed. A Bavarian Tale - Totgeschwiegen is the old name."

Finally a game on gog that actually dares to have some history and culture in it, and european one at that, I thought we were banned and cancelled from gaming?

Sometimes "renaming" just means renaming.

I also aksed the devs about the missing achievements and they should arrive soon.
While performance is a mixed bag (suddenly I experienced performance hits withot any reason) I definitely have to applaud the rebinding options. You are able to rebind every single key with whatever key or mouse button you want ... and it is working just fine. The keyprompts in game however don't change but I can live with that.

Well, that's great. Just like almost every PC game in almost every of the last 20 years.

Unfortunately that is absolutely not the case. There are a lot of games that don't offer key rebinds at all and even those who do only allow a few keys to rebind ... several don't allow you to use cursor keys and only very few allow you to rebind a key to a mouse button sinec in most cases they have one "mouse" section and one "key" section..

The major, major and also major problem of this game is the horrible performance and lacking engine mastery.
The key binding functionality is already in the engine's framework, they just needed to create a UI screen for that!
