## About This Game
“Totgeschwiegen – Chapter I” (“deathly hush”) is a third-person RPG detective
story, set in rural Bavaria in 1866. As the young Medical student Valentin
Schmidt you will travel to Wolpertshofen in order to write a report of the
peoples’ living situation for the King, when a sudden death causes turmoil in
the small Bavarian village.
Right before your eyes, the picturesque, pastoral village turns into a world
full of dark secrets, inexplicable events, social tensions and a hostile hush
of a village that seems to hate nothing more than a stranger poking around in
other peoples’ business. Can you find out who supports you and who is trying
to set you on the wrong track without risking your own life?
\- Lead intriguing conversations: use the dialogue-mechanic to collect
information, find out who is hiding something from you and convince the
villagers to help you out.
\- Make difficult decisions: your decisions have an impact on the course of
the story, the world and the villagers. Not every consequence is visible right
away, though.
\- Find hidden clues: use the detective-mechanic to find clues and evidence.
\- Move around in the shadows unnoticed: the stealth-mechanic is how you can
sneak past enemies and guards or distract them by aiming and throwing stones.
\- Defend yourself: if your sneak-mission has failed, you can use the fight-
mechanic as a last resort and defend yourself with an old fashioned fist
fight.
\- Develop your character: take it step by step and develop your character
with every new level using the skill-mechanic.
Decide how you want to solve the tasks at hand. With charisma, diplomacy, the
art of stealth or strategic escape? The mission, however, is clear: solve this
case!
