The story spans 25 years and places Andreas among monks, villagers, and members of the nobility. Conversations, investigations, and major decisions influence how he understands the people of Tassing and the crimes that affect their community.

A Long-Running Investigation

Andreas investigates a series of murders while navigating a setting shaped by religious change, class divisions, and intellectual debate. Character interactions provide different perspectives on the mystery, while choices can affect the direction of the narrative and the futures of those involved.

Manuscript-Inspired Presentation

The game presents its historical world through artwork influenced by illuminated manuscripts and woodcuts. Its environments, characters, and written material create the appearance of an interactive historical manuscript, reflecting the customs and atmosphere of 16th-century Bavaria.

Dialogue, Clues, and Choices

Progress centers on exploring locations, speaking with residents, and examining information connected to the case. Andreas's background and skills can be shaped through dialogue, and careful attention to documents, conversations, motivations, and details can reveal useful insight.
