This is exciting news! We are happy to announce that we are working on a brand-new title. Together with Hauke Gerdes and Rocket Beans TV, we’re working on Pen & Paper Stories: Morriton Manor — a narrative genre-mashup comedy adventure game with point & click and RPG elements.

The game is set in the “Morriton Manor” franchise, known from German internet TV channel Rocket Beans TV’s popular format “Pen & Paper”. Morriton Manor is a mystery set in the Victorian era — four famous noblemen detectives investigate supernatural phenomena in Victorian England.

The player gets into the role of private investigator Harriett Juana Brook. The four noblemen detectives disappeared during their last mission on Delagney Island. Having some experience with the unnatural, Harriett Brook is sent to the mysterious island to find them.

The four counts have come to the island to uncover some strange ongoings on the island, but in the end, vanished without a trace. On the island, Brook is not only confronted with the mysteries of the missing counts, but also a strangely bewildered countess, a suspicious groundsman, a horrifying creature in the woods, and a surreal time paradox that somehow seems to have imbalanced everything.

We are more than happy to return to Matt’s unique hand-drawn 2D comic style known from our previous game Unforeseen Incidents for Morriton Manor. Get ready for a beautiful adventure game with challenging puzzles, an intriguing story, quirky characters and a world full of secrets, mysteries, and witty jokes.

The game is now in the phase of conception. Hauke, Morriton Manor creator and game master of the Rocket Beans TV show, and Marcus are co-writing the game. The Film- & Medienstiftung NRW is funding the conception of the game with 20,000€.
