Description
“Inspector Schmidt – A Bavarian Tale” is a playable Bavarian detective story. In this third-person RPG, you explore rural Bavaria in 1866. As surveyor Valentin Schmidt, you travel to the tranquil village of Wolpertshofen when a sudden death throws the entire village into turmoil.
The picturesque village idyll is transformed before your eyes into a world of dark secrets, inexplicable events, social tensions and the iron silence of a village community that few things disturb as much as a newcomer poking his nose into other people’s business. Can you find out who is helping you and who is putting obstacles in your way without putting your own life in danger?
