Crime Stories Part 1: Back to the Congressman
The online escape room adventure in the style of point & click games
The Story:
Time has passed since the cataclysm brought about by Project X. The reconstruction is almost complete and the world is fast returning to normal. The dark days of quarantine are over! People have returned to the streets, the parks have reopened, and children are once again back in the playgrounds.
Some scars remain, however. We are the victims of the attendant economic crisis. No-one has any money left for good, honest criminals like us to steal! Do you remember our first mission together? Back then we wanted to get our hands on Simon Dickson’s fortune, but we failed. It’s time to try again, and finally complete the mission. The Operator is waiting for you!
The Crime Stories concept:
Crime Stories was produced during the Covid-19 quarantine, and stands as our answer to the crisis. We were unable to accept that we would have to spend so long without sharing stories from the Crime Runners universe with you.
We are proud to present our newest story in the form of a classic point & click adventure.
How to play:
The game is available here on our website. The only requirement is an internet-enabled computer or laptop. Crime Stories is optimized to run on all standard web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari). Our adventure will also run on tablets, however it isn’t optimised for these devices, so a smooth experience cannot be guaranteed.
Upon purchase a code will be sent to you via email, simply enter this code into the website to begin. If you want to take a break, the game will remember your progress and will resume at the same point.
Playing with friends?
We recommend 1-4 players. Crime Stories includes an innovative multiplayer function. By using this function a single code may be used on several computers at the same time. When one player solves a puzzle and advances to the next scene, the other players automatically go with them. This feature makes Crime Stories ideal for group play over VoIP services (Skype, Zoom etc)
Families playing together may also wish to use this feature to play together across multiple devices at once.
IMPORTANT: Each participant must have a stable internet connection, otherwise an optimum experience cannot be guaranteed. Should you encounter problems with this, simply reload the page.
Our recommendations:
Turn your sound on. Crime Stories makes extensive use of sound to create a special immersive atmosphere.
We strongly recommend playing the game in Full-screen mode, which is accessible using Shift + F during play. Using windowed mode may make certain notes and pieces of text difficult to read on smaller devices.
Use of a pen and paper, while not necessary, is recommended.
How much does it cost?
The game code costs 15 euros and can be used with up to four players simultaneously. Once the game is completed, you will receive a 10 euro voucher code for our live experiences. Through your purchase, you are helping ensure the survival of a small company, which, like so many others, has been hit very hard by the Coronavirus crisis. Your support will allow us to once again provide exciting real-life experiences after the crisis.
