Inspector Falk: Danube Mist

The Danube, October 1938. The paddle steamer Kassandra pushes downriver through thick fog, her bell tolling at the bow. Somewhere between the ports a passenger is dead, and the captain would much rather call it an accident. Inspector Falk, who is aboard, is not so sure. You are Inspector Adam Falk. Eight people on this ship know more than they say. Before the fog lifts, you must find out who is lying, who is keeping quiet, and who has been hiding in the dark. HOW TO PLAY • Search ten hand-drawn locations, from the deck, the salon, the cabins and the bridge to the galley, the engine room and the hold, and step ashore in the ports along the river. • Tap objects and people, examine clues with your magnifying glass and combine what you find. • Interrogate the passengers and crew, ask about everything and confront them with evidence. The right piece of evidence will loosen even the most stubborn tongue. • Record your findings in your notebook and rebuild the night on a timeline. • When you are sure, accuse the culprit: who, why, how, and which three pieces of evidence prove it. A wrong accusation will not stand. WHO IT IS FOR • A classic golden-age mystery where you deduce instead of guessing. • No time limits, no pressure. Play at your own pace; the game saves automatically and you have three slots of your own. • Stuck? Inspector Falk will help. Hints come in three steps, from a gentle nudge to the exact next move. THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE 1930s • Beautifully illustrated scenes, portraits and clues in art deco style. • Characters talk and move as they speak. • Original atmospheric music. • 14 languages.
