Writing a quick article about Blood on the Thames is an absolute given, like being offered a free lunch, a trip to Disney World, or the keys to a Skyline GTR R35… I accept. It’s a crime adventure set in Victorian London.
As you might have surmised, this game from Team Firestorm is a murder mystery, though instead of playing as a detective, you play as widow Minerva Ernest after her husband’s cadaver is discovered in the Thames. Pulling at that inevitable thread, she faces otherworldly powers and ‘uncovering things that no human being was ever meant to find’. Wow.
As a game developer, I’ve always wanted to explore storytelling in the way only video games can. I am thankful to be surrounded by amazing people for this project. I hope the players enjoy the little experience we’ve crafted and are looking forward to our future stories.Matt Thompson, founder of Team Firestorm and game director
Blood on the Thames will launch on PC this Summer.
