Chronique des Silencieuxsees players step into the shoes of Eugène Faury, a rookie private eye entrusted with solving the strange and peculiar case of Victor Dousvalon - a stubborn old history professor who has shrouded his life in secrecy.

Budding investigators will need to think on their feet to solve this delicate mystery; not only following leads, but also their intuition as they question witnesses, detect lies and dig through documents in a quest to break the silence and decades-old lies.

You are entrusted with the peculiar case of Victor Dousvalon. This old history professor is known for shrouding his past life in secrecy for everyone around, including his own daughter Catherine. But an apparently harmless accident decides him to hire you to help Catherine trace back the steps of his life.

Why does he not simply tell himself his own story ?

Why does Catherine, who has been so distant with her father these past years, suddenly wants to know about him?

Your first case will decidedly be a delicate one...
