“Totgeschwiegen - Chapter I” (“deathly hush”) is a third-person RPG detective story, set in rural Bavaria in 1866. As the young Medical student Valentin Schmidt you will travel to Wolpertshofen in order to write a report of the peoples’ living situation for the King, when a sudden death causes turmoil in the small Bavarian village.

Right before your eyes, the picturesque, pastoral village turns into a world full of dark secrets, inexplicable events, social tensions and a hostile hush of a village that seems to hate nothing more than a stranger poking around in other peoples’ business. Can you find out who supports you and who is trying to set you on the wrong track without risking your own life?

- Lead intriguing conversations: use the dialogue-mechanic to collect information, find out who is hiding something from you and convince the villagers to help you out.
- Make difficult decisions: your decisions have an impact on the course of the story, the world and the villagers. Not every consequence is visible right away, though.
- Find hidden clues: use the detective-mechanic to find clues and evidence.
- Move around in the shadows unnoticed: the stealth-mechanic is how you can sneak past enemies and guards or distract them by aiming and throwing stones.
- Defend yourself: if your sneak-mission has failed, you can use the fight-mechanic as a last resort and defend yourself with an old fashioned fist fight.
- Develop your character: take it step by step and develop your character with every new level using the skill-mechanic.

Decide how you want to solve the tasks at hand. With charisma, diplomacy, the art of stealth or strategic escape? The mission, however, is clear: solve this case!
