Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing News

It's always nice when you meet people with whom you have something in common. It's even nicer when you find an entire game studio that has the same passion for games with a historical connection, also comes from Germany and has released a great game at almost the same time. That's why we've teamed up with Paintbucket Games to present The Investigating History Bundle - Detective RPGs made in Germany!

With the Investigating History Bundle, you discover Germany's eventful past by solving exciting criminal cases:

The Darkest Files is set in post World War II Germany, 1956, and based on true crimes. Former Nazis walk free, while their victims lie in unmarked graves. As a prosecutor, you'll unearth long-buried evidence, confront witnesses, and hunt down perpetrators. Will you have the courage to bring these "ordinary men" to court?

In Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing, you travel to the German North Sea Coast in 1870. Untangle a thick web of intrigues, lies, and secrets that surround a mysterious death. Find the origin of eerie telegraph signals, question the villagers, decipher the strange symbols that are suddenly appearing all over town - and hide from the danger lurking in the moor.

With Investigating History, you can get both games (or the game you're missing from your library) at a 15% discount. Double the detective fun for ... excuse us ... a killer price!

Have fun investigating!

The last few months here in the studio have been pretty awesome. Not only have we released an incredibly ambitious game, but we've also been working on three other amazing projects. The fact that Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing is finally being played by you and is constantly improving thanks to your constructive feedback is still an incredible feeling a week later.



[h3]We are being funded by the FFF![/h3]
What's also incredible is that the FilmFernsehFonds Bayern is supporting us with production funding for the development of our next but one game! This means that the existence of our studio is secured beyond 2025. In the current highly uncertain times in the games industry, this is an absolute blessing and motivates us immensely to continue to give our best.


Many thanks to the FFF, but also to our players and community. Your support shows the industry that we are worth supporting because you love our games. Stay fantastic!



[h3]Next stop: Medieval Frontiers[/h3]
Things will now be a little quieter on this communication channel for the time being. However, the next release is already in sight: We will be releasing Medieval Frontiers at the end of the year! If you would like to actively help out here, please sign up for our beta test mailing list and you will be notified as soon as we are looking for testers.

All the best from the Active Fungus team!
