About This Game

Casebook 1899 – The Leipzig Murders is a richly atmospheric point-and-click detective adventure set in a rarely explored chapter of European history. Step into the role of Detective Joseph Kreiser as you investigate a string of murders in Leipzig, Germany, a booming industrial city on the cusp of the 20th century.

Explore hand-pixellated scenes inspired by meticulous historical research. Examine clues, interrogate witnesses, and solve environmental puzzles as you navigate a city gripped by change and shadowed by crime. Your notebook and deduction board are essential tools—combine evidence, draw your own conclusions, and unmask the true culprit across four gripping murder cases.

Uncover vital evidence

Scour beautifully hand-pixellated environments for hidden clues, brought to life with detailed, handcrafted animations. Each scene captures the atmosphere of a bustling 19th-century Leipzig, Germany.

Interrogate suspects and witnesses

Cross paths with witnesses and suspects alike—but it's up to you to tell them apart. Gain their trust, ask the right questions, and uncover what they’d rather keep hidden.

Use your notebook

Keep track of every observation and witness statement in your notebook, where each scene has its own dedicated page for easy reference when you need it most.

Draw your own conclusions

Combine clues in your notebook to unlock new conclusions on your deduction board. Piece together the facts and identify the true culprit from a list of suspects.

Your choices will matter

Your choice of culprit in each of the four cases determines the outcome, making this a true test of your deductive skills. A sharp eye and keen mind are your greatest weapons in the fight against crime.
