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?

Much better than I expected.

The game is what it says: an FMV point-and-click adventure game, like the ones from the mid-90's. Being a low budget game, I expected a lot of junk, but to my surprise it delivered in all aspects: the story is well-constructed and interesting, the FMV part is nicely shot and the game aspect was as one would expect from a classic point-and-click game. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5-stars is that there are small mistakes in terms of grammar and sound balancing of the actor's voices. Also, please game developers, always ask for user confirmation in any load/save operation. Having to waste a couple of hours doing the same things again, because I pressed load instead of save, could have been easily avoided. All in all, I had some good fun for a few hours and I would surely recommend it to anyone who liked such games in the past, particularly if you buy it in discount. In terms of difficulty, I would say it's on par with games like those that Widgeteye Games makes.
