Story:The small town of Numberville is under the curse of the late Professor Alfons Numerus - imprisoned in Number-Castle, Mathica, the stepdaughter of the mathematical genius, must solve the problem of squaring the circle, which her father failed. The task is to redeem Mathica from the curse by finding the lost formula of Ramanujan, which proves the unsolvability of the problem and thus the futility of her arithmetic. Only in this way can the mind of Numerus acknowledge its lifelong error and find peace. Clues to the whereabouts of the formula can be found scattered throughout the city. Along the way, various mathematical puzzles must be solved, for example, to open locked doors. Thus, to free Mathica, certain mathematical knowledge about geometry, equations, numbers, probabilities and combinatorics is required, which can be acquired in the knowledge part of the game.Show more

Murder in the Alps
Murder in the AlpsMurder in the Alps is a game like no other. It's a fully interactive crime novel inside of a game's shell. This artistic marvel brings you back to the 1930s, when every man is a gentleman and every woman is an elegant lady. A very cozy hotel tucked away in one of the farthest corners of the Alps. No one expects how bizarre things are going to get. The plot begins, as one of the guests is missing to the dining table and shorty after others starting disappearing. Anna Myers, the journalist from Zurich who conveniently happened to be staying at the hotel, took it upon herself to solve this mystery. Each day the plot thickens as Anna has to decide, which one of the ten completely different, mysterious characters is the killer.
