Thought this might be of interest to you guys: http://www.futuregames.cz/alterego/Future Games, the developers of Black Mirror and Next Life, are working on their next adventure. The story is set in England, the year is 1894. Sir William's dead body has mysteriously disappeared. The deceased has been the center of police investigations more than once but the police were never able to trace a crime back to him. Only few people were brave enough to serve him because rumours and stories about his cruel deeds were told in the region. After his death, a series of gruesome murders leaves the police helpless and the people of Plymouth in a panic. Young Timothy Moor, a pickpocket, is drawn into the story after having been arrested. The player will alternately control Timothy and Detective Bristol to solve the mystery. Sounds pretty good, eh?  Release will be Q2/2009.
Shiny.

Looks extremely interesting! Loved the screenshots. Looks like my kind of game. I really enjoyed Black Mirror so this game will be on my list for sure.

Here's the press release: South England, 1894
In the town of Plymouth the body of recently buried Sir William disappears under strange circumstances. This peculiar news would not stir such tremendous public interest if it was not Sir William himself. He was investigated several times during his life and although the police never managed to press charges against him, scary legends about his bloody crimes live on among the
town people. There were only a few left who were willing to serve him and were brave enough to stand the look at his lifeless face. And most of them run away in horror after his death and series of murders that followed it. Police are helpless and not able to move forward with the case. The town
is thrown into a state of panic and fear.
Young ordinary thief Timothy gets utterly unwittingly involved in these events. His arrival is characteristic enough already - he came as a black passenger on a ship and was brought into the town in handcuffs. But Timothy has completely different plans. He dreams of getting to America where he wants to start a new life. But the mysterious destiny will soon make him – and not only him - realize how winding its paths can be...
Playable Characters of the story:
Timothy Moor – Innocent with a soul of a thief who grew up on the street and never had an easy
life. He lies and cheats - yet is he a faithful friend. His pleasant smile hides his dark side and he
often abuses trust of the fair sex. He does not hesitate to rob a blind violinist but when the need may
be he is able to risk his own life to save a friend or a stranger woman in distress.
He despises police and he always stays where the law cannot reach him. His overgrown self- confidence and a unfortunate concurrence of circumstances throw him in jail and his dreams about
his journey to America are quickly turning into dust…
Detective Bristol – An English gentleman, the personification of law and hard-edged justice. Systematically rigorous, at first look calm and principled. He is investigating the circumstances under which Sir Williams’s body disappeared from the cemetery but refuses to believe in the existence of a monster. Yet the everyday news about increasingly brutal murders take the firm ground from under his feet away. Soon he faces big decision - how far is he able to go in abandoning his principles in order to solve the case…?

Release date Q2/2009 (but they don't say in which country)
