Pleurghburg: Dark Ages
A semi-sequel to the company's earlier non-Adventure game Cops & Killers, the player controls police detective Jake McUrk in the now relatively crime-free city of Pleurghburg. While investigating screams coming from the old morgue he discovers a series of grisly murders perpetrated by a group of robed men. The game plays out over four days as Jake tries to discover the secret behind the robed men before Pleurghburg becomes a crime-ridden hellhole again.

About This Game
In Pleurghburg, policing has been reimagined from the ground up. The old corrupt force was dismantled by its own citizens and replaced by the Police Detective Agency — an organization built purely on investigative work, with no patrol officers walking the streets. Remarkably, crime fell by nearly half under the new model. Jake McUrk is one of the PDA's detectives, a capable investigator accustomed to closing cases. When a call comes in that sounds routine — one of the countless false alarms that fill the daily log — Jake expects to resolve it quickly. Instead, he is pulled into a web of brutal murders and mounting paranoia, where danger lurks in every corridor and every familiar face becomes suspect. The further Jake pursues the truth, the less certain he is of who, if anyone, he can still trust.
