Bohemian Killing
Steampunk Paris, set against the background of the late 19th century, torn between tradition and modernity. Class differences and pervasive racism finally lead to a tragedy. A year later you find yourself on trial, accused of a brutal murder. How far will you go to exonerate yourself? Will you lie, seek evidence to prop your testimony or, perhaps, pretend to be insane? Your imagination is the limit. Bohemian Killing is a narrative-driven courtroom drama, offering players almost unlimited possibilities of solving the lawsuit, thanks to the complete integration of gameplay and narrated story. It is also the first law-themed game made by a real-life lawyer! Gameplay in Bohemian Killing is a combination of a courtroom drama, and a walking simulator. It can be classified as a first person experience, or a first person interactive story adventure game.

If you like original, creative, unique indie games, Bohemian Killing is a great title to pick up. It takes an intuitive spin on the murder mystery genre by removing the mystery and having you recreate the events in order to exonerate yourself through lying, framing others, or claiming insanity – alternatively, you can recreate the murder exactly as described by the prosecution and endure your fate. There are lots of subtle changes and deviations to discover, changes which affect the final verdict and the opinion of the judge you’re trying to convince. This is a very clever and complex narrative-driven adventure game which seamlessly adjusts based upon your choices and actions. If you like interactive narrative-heavy games, such as the brilliant FMV and CGI cinematic experiences like The Complex, The Shapeshifting Detective, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, and Hidden Agenda, then you’ll really like Bohemian Killing.

Bohemian Killing is, despite some problems in execution, one of the most alluring games I’ve ever played on a conceptual level. It’s one of those brilliant examples of how the digital field can be used to create interactive narrative experiences that you simply can’t find elsewhere.

Bohemian Killing, with its unique plot and great artistic style, is a great experience for fans of murder mystery, however, it does seem to be a niche game targeting a very specific audience.” Your testimony begins at 9 p.m.

When it comes down to it, Bohemian Killing is an excellent example of a game that relies too much on concept, and not enough on execution. I still very much stand behind the statement that this game is unique because it absolutely is.
