Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders is a richly atmospheric, retro-inspired point-and-click adventure set in Leipzig, Germany at the dawn of the 20th century. The developer has now confirmed it's going to launch on September 4th, with Native Linux support and a demo is available still.

As Kreiser, you’ll examine clues, interrogate suspects, and piece together evidence to solve four murder cases. In a classic point-and-click format, Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders will transport players to a less-explored era of German history.

Throughout its development the game has attracted attention within the point-and-click adventure community and has been showcased at events such as AdventureX, Indie Game Fest Cologne, CAGGTUS, and NEXO. It also earned second place in the newcomer category at the Games Innovation Award Saxony (GIAS).

Game Highlights:

  • Uncover vital evidence - Scour beautifully hand-pixellated environments for hidden clues, brought to life with detailed, handcrafted animations. Each scene captures the atmosphere of a bustling 19th-century Leipzig, Germany.
  • Interrogate suspects and witnesses - Cross paths with witnesses and suspects alike—but it's up to you to tell them apart. Gain their trust, ask the right questions, and uncover what they’d rather keep hidden.
  • Use your notebook - Keep track of every observation and witness statement in your notebook, where each scene has its own dedicated page for easy reference when you need it most.
  • Draw your own conclusions - Combine clues in your notebook to unlock new conclusions on your deduction board. Piece together the facts and identify the true culprit from a list of suspects.
  • Your choices will matter - Your choice of culprit in each of the four cases determines the outcome, making this a true test of your deductive skills. A sharp eye and keen mind are your greatest weapons in the fight against crime.

This game is still breaking the "1800s crime all happens in London" rule. emoji
