'The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker' (ALL) Available On Switch, PS4 and Xbox One

You are a psychiatrist, trying to solve a murder whilst treating the unusual patients of the recently deceased Doctor Dekker.

Type any question - and your patients will reply in full screen video.

They'll have questions for you too but be careful what you say. Your words will determine their eventual fates, and your own!

The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is a Lovecraftian FMV murder mystery, which gives players full freedom to question suspects by typing their own questions instead of picking them from a predetermined list. There are no point and click puzzles to solve, just questions to ask and evidence to inspect.

Finding out who killed Dr Dekker is only one part of the puzzle; working out how to fix the chaos he left behind will be so much trickier… As well as providing clues to the murder, each patient has their own bizarre problem they need your help with – from time manipulation and re-animated loved ones to horrors under the sea.

There’s Bryce, a gravedigger who claims to have an extra hour a day to “do as he pleases”, and Elin, a nurse whose colleagues call her “the angel of death”. Marianna suffers from blackouts and wakes up naked on the beach, and Nathan’s PTSD causes him to relive entire days. Finally, there’s Claire who, by her own admission, is a “delusional psychotic with obsessive tendencies”. And that’s just what they’re willing to tell you in the first session!

Complete with an atmospheric soundtrack, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker invites you to explore the shadow reality that your patients inhabit – a world full of paranormal strangeness and horrors that go bump in your head, where all you have to rely on is your own mind.

Just try not to lose it...
