International Emmy Award winning writer Felicity Carpenter has written the story and dialogue providing the game with an intriguing plot. This beautifully designed hidden object mystery game begins in a London train station and asks players to solve a particularly curious case. Eight seemingly useless objects have been stolen from a secret vault belonging to incarcerated criminal mastermind Five Fingers. The player’s job as a detective is to find out what they are for, who has taken them and why they are worth killing for. 

In the great tradition of British comedy the original cast from the #1* hit game will return, with several of them acting in different roles. Fans will also recognise Tom Dussek’s return to the Murder Files series as he once again lends his voice to a cast of flamboyant characters.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
