WISBECH, UK (1st MAY 2020) — Indie developer D’Avekki Studios is thrilled to announce today their much-anticipated FMV-TV game Dark Nights with Poe and Munro will release on Steam for PC and Mac on 19th May 2020.
Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is an FMV adventure in six TV-like episodes focusing on the chemistry between local radio hosts John ‘Poe’ Pope and Ellis Munro as they encounter a series of supernatural happenings in the small town of August.
The announcement, which comes a year after the studio started developing the game as a standalone prequel to The Shapeshifting Detective, is accompanied by a 2-minute official launch trailer which can be viewed here:

The game features almost five hours of full screen HD video, an intuitive timed hot-spot interface, and six replayable stories with branching scenes and multiple endings.
Klemens Koehring and Leah Cunard reprise their roles as Poe and Munro respectively, and FMV fan favourite Aislinn De’Ath cameos as guesthouse owner Violet. There are also guest voiceovers from Justin McElroy (The Adventure Zone, My Brother My Brother and Me), Jesse Cox (Monster Prom), David Homb (1995’s Phantasmagoria), and many more.
