The Story:
Players step into the role of Victoria McPherson, a brilliant young FBI agent
and the granddaughter of Post Mortem’s famed Private Detective, Gustav
McPherson. On the hunt for a serial killer, Victoria is up against five dead
bodies, a mountain of circumstantial evidence and an angry boss breathing down
her neck. Things become more complicated when, on a visit to her childhood home,
she comes across one of Gus’ old case files dating back more than 75 years. As
she reads deeper into the file, she discovers an uncanny number of similarities
between her case in Chicago and the gruesome killings in 1920s Prague...
“We are delighted to work again with Microids who masterfully crafted the
