All three of their games are linked in the same universe, but Aislinn plays two characters within the DDCU (the Doctor Dekker Cinematic Universe) she plays Violet, the owner of the Guest House in both Dark Nights with Poe and Munro and The Shapeshifting Detective, yet she’s also Marianna in The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, a disturbed young lady who often finds herself naked in the sea when she wakes up in the morning… In this chapter, we’re also introduced to a recurring star of D’Avekki Studios‘ games – Aislinn De’ath. In this episode, you’re literally in the driving seat as you get to pick who the pair go and talk to and who does the talking. There is an episode that is more interactive than the rest, you’re looking for a boy who has gone missing after school. In order to see everything, you’ll find yourself playing through each episode multiple times – not just for the trophies, but also to see what happens and how our quirky duo react to one another with their entertaining banter. Dark Nights with Poe and Munro has a lot of missable scenes, with your choices sending you down different paths that change the narrative and information you gather. The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker had you manually type in your questions as you interrogated patients to discover who killed the doctor, and The Shapeshifting Detective was similar to this game but more linear (although it had a cool mechanic where you could shapeshift into anyone you’ve spoken to then go back and talk to the other people, as that person). This game is different to the developer’s prior FMV adventures, as mentioned in my PC review. If you’ve played the former game and gone down a certain pathway then you’ll understand why it’ll be impossible for this to be a sequel, unless we presume certain events didn’t happen. So, here we are, almost a full 12 months later thanks to a certain global event which I’ll avoid talking about! But, did I enjoy the game as much as I did the first time or has it been overshadowed by other recent titles in the genre? Let’s find out…īoth Poe (Klemens Koehring) and Munro (Leah Cunard) are also featured within the brilliant The Shapeshifting Detective, yet no prior knowledge is required due to Dark Nights with Poe and Munro being a prequel. I played and reviewed this game on PC back in May 2020, yet I purposely only played it once and didn’t go back to see the alternative scenes – so that it would be fresh once I got my hands on the console version. They even publish their own whodunnit murder mystery party games which you can host (once lockdown is over) with a group of friends. Fans of the genre should be familiar with this developer as they’re the studio behind two previous FMV mysteries The Shapeshifting Detective and The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker. We’ve covered a number of experiences in the genre before but this week we’ve taken a second look at Dark Nights with Poe and Munro, which has just launched on both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One (with a Nintendo Switch release coming later this year).ĭark Nights with Poe and Munro is a six-episode TV Series-like FMV game, developed and published by husband and wife developer, D’Avekki Studios. Have you ever felt torn between if you want to watch something on the TV or play a video game? If so, why not combine the two and experience an interactive FMV cinematic adventure, putting yourself in the seat of the director as you control the events and dialogue which plays out before you.
