Inspector Falk: Stopped Time

Prague, November 1936. A foggy night in the villa quarter. Industrialist Oskar Brandl lies dead in his study. The grandfather clock stopped at 21:40, and his pocket watch broke in the fall at exactly the same time. It all looks obvious. A little too obvious. You are Inspector Adam Falk of the Prague criminal police. Seven people are in the villa, and every one of them has something to hide: the wife, the family doctor, a colonel and his wife, an elegant guest, the maid and the cook. Before the night is over, you must find out who is lying, who is keeping quiet, and who stopped time. HOW TO PLAY • Search five beautifully illustrated rooms of the villa: the study, the hall, the dining room, the terrace and the kitchen. • Tap objects and people, examine clues with your magnifying glass and combine what you find. • Interrogate the suspects, 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 timeline of the evening minute by minute. • When you are sure, accuse the killer: 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 murder 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 case takes about one to one and a half hours. THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE 1930s • Beautifully illustrated scenes, portraits and clues in art deco style. • Characters talk and move as they speak. • Original period music. • 14 languages. Content note: the story involves a murder by poison (shown without graphic imagery) and mentions of alcohol and tobacco, in keeping with its 1930s setting. Recommended for ages 13+.
