Solve a Supernatural-Noir Murder Mystery in ‘The Shapeshifting Detective’

Published

on

More FMV goodness is coming your way later this year with the announcement of D’Avekki Studios and Wales Interactive’s (the makers of The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker) new game, The Shapeshifting Detective. Set for Q4 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam, the game is a multi-location, multi-suspect supernatural-noir murder mystery. Featuring 1600+ full HD FMV videos with multiple branching paths, with some choices not being a simple “yes or no” scenario.

The story for the game puts you as a shapeshifting detective investigating a murder of one Dorota Shaw. The prime suspects are three tarot readers with the uncanny ability to predict, or commit, murder. It’s your job to find out what else they know – but they won’t reveal their secrets to just anyone. Luckily, you can use your shapeshifting ability to be anyone you want to be. Even the next victim.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
