Moin! Will we see you at Gamescom 2024?
Active Fungus will be at Gamescom 2024! We look forward to meet, chat and show you what we’ve been busy with for the last year. Find us at the Home of Indies booth E014 - D015 - Hall 10.2 and test our newest demo of Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing, the sequel to our very first game Inspector Schmidt - A Bavarian Tale.
This time, we’re going North: The game takes place at the Northern Sea – yes, also linguistically. The entire game is synchronized in Platt, a Northern German language, even more incomprehensible than Bavarian. Fortunately, there will be German subtitles again as well as an English synchronization for all of you who won’t complete their Duolingo lessons until Gamescom.
Gameplay
Within hours, the coastal town of Havstedt transforms from an idyllic vacation spot into the scene of a desperate struggle for innocence. Who is responsible for the murder of Bente Hansen? Where do the mysterious lights on the sea come from? What causes the strange signals being sent through the newly built transatlantic telegraph cable?
Can you uncover the truth behind the sea of lies and reveal the dark secrets of the community without becoming a target yourself?
