Death and terror in the city of love.

Post Mortem, a dark and unsettling thriller/noir adventure game set in 1920s Paris, is now available on GOG.com for only $9.99.

There's always a dame. When you're a private eye it just comes with the territory. Whether your name is Sam Spade and you live off bourbon in a run-down San Francisco apartment or if you're Gustave MacPherson and you usually dine on onion soup and baguettes in a Montmartre bistro--sooner or later there'll be one knocking softly and intriguingly on your office's glass door. This particular damsel introduced herself as Sophia Blake, a pretty little thing--even if more than a tad pale--with a sad story to tell. There's always a sad story. I took the case. Why wouldn't I? I needed the money and the gruesome murders seemed interesting enough. Not every day you investigate the beheading of your client's sister and brother-in-law in the richer part of Paris. If only had I known better...

Post Mortem is a first person perspective adventure game following a private eye on a case of brutal murders. The classic point-and-click interface makes searching for clues in Paris of the 1920s as enjoyable as it can get. The ominous story takes some unexpected turns as it gets even darker with each solved puzzle. The pre-rendered cinematic cutscenes present the unknown, morbid, and sinister face of the city of love and the open dialogs impact the development of the events on the screen. The dark tone, the intriguing mystery, and the original setting make it a must-play for all the adventure, horror, and mystery fans alike.

Turn back the clock by a century and hit the streets of Paris in search for clues in Post Mortem, for only $9.99!
Nice release but I just bought Post Mortem a couple of days ago.

when still life came out I had no idea it was connected to post mortem. I was just playing and then suddenly bam! a flashback to one of my favorite adventure games.
Too late, already got it from DotEmu. But kudos for finally completing the series! :)

Btw, the screenshot don't really betray that, but other than Still Life, this game uses the first person perspective most of the time.

I haven't played much of it yet, but what I like about it is the RPG-like dialogue system. You don't just choose what to ask about and in which order but also the tone in which you react, and several options are quite different from each other. You have to make choices and can't just go through all available dialogue options one after the other as in most other adventure games, where it feels as if your choices don't really make a difference.

Finally series complete, yay! Can't wait to give Post Mortem another try, haven't played the game since like 2004. I'm wondering if it's as great as it is in my memory.

Same here ;-) But it's good that we get more from the older publishers.
Finally! Though I've heard this game is a bit flawed so I might wait until its on sale to pick it up...
I also got it from DotEmu sales already, but I am definitely happy GOG got it too.

Majesty Gold HD next, okay GOG? Before I get it from DotEmu too.
FINALLY!

Of course I raised an eyebrow at the price.
Took your sweet time dudes. But it's great to finally see this here.

Price is the same as the price anywhere

The best thing is that a professional German reviewer wasn't aware of this connection either - he reviewed Still Life without having played Post Mortem and he actually treated the appearance of "that random uncle Gus character" as a massive flaw in the game, mentioned it a couple of times throughout the review. He switched to another magazine soon after...

WBGhiro: Is this better than still life? I didn't like the puzzles and characters in general much.
In my opinion, no. Let me put it to you this way:
I liked Still Life despite its flaws.
I disliked Post Mortem because of its flaws.

I've already sold my physical copy of Post Mortem and I have no intention to replace it with a digital one, but I welcome the addition nevertheless. May other people enjoy it more than I did.
A good adventure.

Well yeah once you've beaten it there isn't much motivation to replay it, that's why i won't be buying it but it's great for anyone who hasn't played it (only I wouldn't price it $10).
