The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is taking part in the Steam Mystery Fest this week with a whopping 70% off!
Six patients need your help - each bringing their own supernatural story to your psychiatrist's couch. But the more you dig into their problems, you more you'll risk your own sanity. Can you find who killed Doctor Dekker without losing your mind?
More mystery awaits on the island of Mirlhaven in our upcoming game Murderous Muses. As the night watch for a very unusual art gallery, you'll spend three days and nights restoring the memories of a murdered artist to uncover which of his six 'Murderous Muses' killed him!
With the official trailer and release date yet to be announced, plus more sneak peeks and feature spotlights to come, wishlist Murderous Muses now!
Our 3rd FMV game, "Dark Nights with Poe and Munro" has just launched along with a new Dekker patient, and a new Dekker bundle!
Jump into 6 episodes of supernatural strangeness with The Shapeshifting Detective's radio hosts Poe and Munro, and meet up with a Dekker patient that just might hold the key to the Dekkerverse and ends the trilogy with a bang!
There's a 10% launch discount, and Dekker will be flying the 10% flag from tomorrow too, but you can gift friends a complete Double Dekker bundle (including Dekker and Poe and Munro) for 30% off right now to share the madness together :o
We're delighted to announce our latest Doctor Dekker patient, Elizabeth, who will be appearing first in a mind-bending crossover episode of Dark Nights with Poe and Munro.
We did mention we're releasing another FMV game, right?

The Shapeshifting Detective releases 6th November 2018!
Yes, we made another FMV game...
The Shapeshifting Detective is a supernatural noir murder mystery where you play as a detective who can shapeshift into other characters to unlock secret conversations and private encounters.
The game stars Aislinn De'Ath (Doctor Dekker's Marianna) plus Rupert Booth and Anarosa de Eizaguirre Butler (Contradiction: Spot the Liar's Jenks and Emma) and features a whole host of brilliant new FMV actors and guest voiceovers including Jesse Cox and Tex Murphy!
We're happy to announce our next FMV game - "The Shapeshifting Detective"
https://shapeshiftingdetective.com
• A large FMV world to explore
• Shapeshift into other characters, or be yourself
• Branching storyline - catch the killer, save the victims, or both?
Thank you for all the positive feedback, constructive criticism and love (where provided ;-) as it has encouraged us to change focus to deliver a new game sooner rather than later. We love playing FMV games and are humbled to be able to make those games ourselves.
There. Will. Be. No. Text. Parser. :-o.
1.07 patch - Jaya, Jaya, Jaya...
PATCH NOTES
A few keyword and hint improvements.
Fixed a bug that prevented Jaya giving hints to go green. At least we think it was a bug, and not just Jaya being difficult :-o
1.06 patch - The "brkn kyb8rd" update!
PATCH NOTES
Added "suggested questions"
SUGGESTED QUESTIONS
There's now a new way to traverse the Dekkerverse...
1. Click the dropdown button at the right of the text box for suggested questions.
2. Click a question, watch the video.
3. Repeat.
Use the button as much as you like, or ignore it, it's up to you! Asking for suggested questions adds one to your hint tally, so if you don't type at all you're certain to pick up our 'hinty aftertaste' achievement.
At launch there are just under 1000 suggested questions available, which will enable you to easily finish the game, leaving 500+ responses as keyboard 'easter eggs' if you want to find them.
We really hope this new input system makes the game more accessible, and gives veterans a good reason to head back to the couch for a replay too...
1.05 Patch
PATCH NOTES
Added Linux platform
Added subtitle hints for side patients
Added multi-language framework
Added many many more keywords and combinations
LINUX
We have tested multiple successful playthroughs on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit so that's our recommended platform.
SUBTITLE HINTS
We've continued with subtitle hints for all the side patients so you can quickly enjoy those stories if you want to.
MULTI LANGUAGE
We've added multi-language support thanks to various members of the community with their translation offers. We are locking the keywords with this release (unless we've epically broken anything!) so they can be released into the wild for translation. If you'd like to help with this process let us know.
Thanks again to everyone who has supported the game, greenlight voters, purchasers, testers, streamers, reviewers and fans. We'd like to say sorry to those players who couldn't live with the parser, and warmly hug those who enjoyed taking the journey with us - we'll be working on another FMV game for you soon...
