9 itemsAbout the Game
A terrifying investigative adventure game set in the 18th century: classical music, baroque style, horrible murders.
~~ THE STORY ~~
Year 17XX - Austria: former orchestra conductor Heinrich Steiner accidentally discovers the horribly mutilated corpse of an unknown person into the local theater. Someone turned that body into a working musical instrument. Heinrich, a passionate musical composer, is stunned: how can someone create something like this? Obsessed with the murderer and his musical skills, Heinrich is going to discover a tremendous truth hidden behind the luxurious curtain that covers the entire city. Who is the killer? Why is he doing all this? And more importantly: will Heinrich be able to discover his identity without being killed?
~~ THE GAME ~~
Following the steps of the former orchestra director and skilled composer Heinrich Steiner, the player will uncover the secret behind a bloody trail of terrifying murders. Blood Opera Crescendo is trying to "break the limits" of RPG Maker, offering improved graphics, a deep story and game mechanics inspired from series like Ace Attorney. During the game you will face interrogations and misdirections: if failed, they will lead to game over. Unlike other "classic" adventure games, in Blood Opera Crescendo you can fail and the world is dangerous.
- A terrifying and elegant single-player adventure: a journey through the Baroque era on the trail of a murderer who transforms human beings into musical instruments
- A refined soundtrack enriched with classical music masterpieces
- 8-10 hours of gameplay for the complete game
- Investigate, deceive, solve the mystery... and don't get arrested (or worse!)
- Uncommon adventure game mechanics, some inspired from famous series like Ace Attorney: rhythm game, stealth, interrogation/misdirection phases
- Platforms: Windows (Steam)/Linux
- Control: Keyboard/Joypad
- Price at launch: 10 €
- Languages: English, Japanese, Italian
