Still Life

FBI agent Victoria McPherson is investigating a series of murders in modern-day Chicago when she finds an old case file belonging to her grandfather. His investigation into similar crimes in 1920s Prague gives her case a troubling parallel.

This point-and-click adventure alternates between Victoria and her grandfather, private detective Gustav McPherson. Explore locations, inspect objects, speak with characters, and search for evidence as each investigator follows a different part of the mystery.

Progress by gathering clues and solving puzzles, then connect details across the two investigations. The story unfolds through a linear sequence of scenes and conversations, with collected information and evidence available to review.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its dark, noir atmosphere and engaging mystery, especially the shift between Victoria’s modern Chicago investigation and Gustav’s 1920s Prague case. Reviews also frequently appreciate the visual style, soundtrack, and voice acting. A recurring frustration is that some puzzles feel obscure or overly difficult, while some players find the ending abrupt or the movement and backtracking slow.
