Reginald Brent, a retired music producer, has been murdered in the comfort of his own apartment. The obvious suspects are his ambitious nephews, Peter and Paul, both twins. They are the sole beneficiaries of his Will. There's a motive right there. Reginald wasn't a wealthy man, but a lifetime of scrimping and saving had nevertheless amassed a small fortune. Ready to be grabbed by the unscrupulous.

Detective Inspector Lance Picton is as tenacious as he is effective. He's like a dog with a bone; he won't let go until the case is solved. His methodology is relentless investigation and questioning for clues, leaving no stone unturned.

In this game you will assume the role of DI Picton. Can you solve the mystery?

Let's hope you're up to it.

You have a very large fanbase in Germany. Why don't you use them for a translation of your wonderful games. E.g. guild of thieves in german would do a great benefit for your history.

That's a nice idea. There are ideas in the pipeline for sequels and spin-offs to the original games using the new system. I think it would be cool to make those multi-lingual, rather than trying to retro-fit to the originals.
