Steam Store description

A killer is terrorizing the streets of Victorian London, and private investigator Sydney Emerson has hit a new low between finding lost dogs and receiving alleyway beatings. A turn of events sees Sydney forgoing his selfish nature and thrusting himself into perilous and increasingly surreal situations, treading a fine line between dreams and reality. Explore the foggy streets of Victorian London in all its decadence and depravity, searching the slums, taverns, brothels and even Sydney’s abstract dreamscapes for clues. Befriend a host of interesting, insane and eccentrically British characters along the way while dragging Sydney through an existential crisis, all to the tune of an unforgettable soundtrack. Features •A noir adventure laced with adult themes and dark humour. •A faithful recreation of Victorian London, from decadence to depravity. •Classic point and click gameplay in the vein of the LucasArts games of yore. •Explore Sydney’s surreal dream-world for clues. •Follow the trail of a killer, or drink until you vomit at the pub. •Original soundtrack blends film noir and traditional Victorian instruments.
