About This Game

What can you expect?


We affectionately call it "queer cheesy trash". The 90s FMVs had their own charm and that included exaggerated acting, exaggerated characters and a penchant for hoarding items. We want to get back to that.

  • 100% FMV Point and Click Adventure Game
  • 2 alternating playable main characters
  • 15 different playable locations in Austria
  • 13 interactive NPCs
  • classic point and click puzzles!

Story


Markus was recently a pretty normal average guy. He has no particular ambitions in life and keeps his head above water as a photographer of photo books of questionable quality. But when he is plagued by nightmares, he starts to investigate. And a letter addressed to him, but with the wrong surname, changes his life completely.



The blood of a time-honored family of Shadowhunters beats in his heart. And with it comes a responsibility to his fellow man. For the Shadowhunters are destined to fight demonic beings, so-called 'shadows'. One such monster is currently killing in Vienna and has already claimed countless victims. Will Markus be up to the task?



But not only the supernatural plagues our young Shadowhunter. His publisher has big plans for a book that Markus himself hasn't even written. Will his presence in the public eye be advantageous, or will it hinder his existence as a Shadowhunter?



Then there's also his love life, which takes off at a most inconvenient time. There's Claudia, the secretary, but also Ludwig, the charismatic digital designer.

And then there's Ro. A young woman who suddenly appears everywhere the shadow is. What's the story behind her?

If you think you get anything close to a Gabriel Knight adventure, you don't. The only resembelance is the main character being a shadow hunter (through a troubled family). First of all if you want to get more background story, play Markus Ritter - The Lost Family first, which is an ever shorter (but free) then this, but kind of annoying (most of the game consists of taking photographs). There are several quirks that could easily be fixed like typo's, the short fmv loops making the characters look weird when you are looking at the screen for a minute. But my biggest gripe is there just aren't (m)any puzzles, atleast none that will make you think, as the puzzles that are, are pretty straightforward and on top of that a flimsy (murder) storyline. 5/10.

What an improvement over the demo! I enjoyed the demo thoroughly, but every part of Ghosts of the Past is improved, video quality, game mechanics, pacing, even the acting is better. It's not a long game, but it's a solid edition to the Shattenjager legacy from the Gabriel Knight games. If you like FMV games, this tour of dark occult Vienna is worth your time.

Hat ein bisschen für mich gedauert, bis ich es an einem weiteren Summer-Sale schnappen konnte und ganz ehrlich.. besser spät als nie! Ich hatte schon vorher die kostenlose The Lost Family-Demo im letzten Jahr zu Ende gespielt und hab für dieses Spiel meine Erwartungen anticipated. Trotz der vielen kleinen Macken, vorallem in Texten sowohl auf Deutsch und Englisch, hatte ich ein wahres Erlebnis mit der vollen Ausstattung der Markus Ritter-Geschichte mit Ghosts of The Past. Wenn ein dritter Teil jemals in Planung kommen würde, werde ich es definitiv nachverfolgen!
