Immerse yourself in an industrial metropolis on the threshold of the 20th century and solve four exciting murder cases as Detective Joseph Kreiser.
Casebook 1899 is a classic point-and-click adventure with a few special features. You control detective inspector Joseph Kreiser, who examines objects, questions witnesses and interrogates suspects. You have an inventory of items that you can combine with each other and with the game world, talk to other characters and solve environmental puzzles.
Commissioner Kreiser records all observations and witness statements in his notebook. In this notebook, you have to combine the right clues to unlock new conclusions and thus determine the culprit. Each case has multiple endings, but only one of them will convict the real culprit. The success or failure of the investigation depends directly on your skills as a police officer. A sharp eye and an alert mind are your strongest weapons in the fight against crime.

The game is being developed with the help of 484 backers who contributed 17.467 € through  Kickstarter!

The demo offers both entertainment and quality, and is by far one of the most intriguing point-and-click game I have played in a long while. Having the story set and voiced in a German setting is quite immersive, and the language truly is beautiful. A tremendous amount of love and care went into this project, with every aspect beautifully crafted. The inspiration is clear, without taking away the story's own identity.

Might I point out but a single thing: the Congratulations screen should write "you" as opposed to "yu".

Other than this very minor mistake, this story is already a hidden gem! Worthy of a Sierra and Lucas Arts praise.

Well done fellow game developer, your clear passion inspired me to bring my own project to completion, how ever long it might take.

Kindly,
