Have you met Victoria McPherson? How about her Grandfather Gustav (you can call him Gus)? Well, now?s your chance. Head over to the Still Life website and download the official Still Life Demo. Featuring the first few areas of the game, players will play as both Victoria and Gus, exploring a gruesome crime scene and utilizing a variety of forensic tools.

In Still Life, players step into the role of Victoria McPherson, a brilliant young FBI agent and the granddaughter of Post Mortem?s famed Private Detective, Gustav McPherson. On the hunt for a serial killer, Victoria is up against five dead bodies, a mountain of circumstantial evidence, and an angry boss breathing down her neck. Things become more complicated when, on a visit to her childhood home, she comes across one of Gus? old case files dating back more than 75 years. As she reads deeper into the file, she discovers an uncanny number of similarities between her case in Chicago and the gruesome killings in 1920s Prague...

?We are delighted to work again with Microids who masterfully crafted the Adventure Game of the Year, Syberia, and the successful Post Mortem,? said Robert Stevenson, V.P.
