About This Game

Step into a living illustrated world in a time when Europe is at a crossroads of great religious and political change. Walk in the footsteps of Andreas Maler, a master artist who finds himself in the middle of murders, scandals, and intrigue in the Bavarian Alps.

In this game, you can…

  • …watch characters literally speak in different historically accurate fonts, including movable type for a printer and a totally different art style for an Ethiopian visitor.
  • …say one throwaway line in Act 1, then meet the consequences years later when toddlers have grown up, alliances have shifted, and some people are simply gone.
  • …investigate a murder on a clock, spending limited days and hours so following one lead can permanently block others until another playthrough.
