About

Two separate murder cases, in two separate lifetimes - so similar in the smallest of details that one could believe they were performed by the same person. Impossible! One of the crimes took place 75 years ago, while the other just happened! Is someone copying an old serial killer? Or is it remotely possible that the same murderer is still alive and committing more crimes? In this thriller adventure, you'll play as Victoria, an FBI agent, in modern Chicago as well as her grandfather, Gustav, P.I. in Prague in the 1920s. Explore Chicago and Prague and solve puzzles while preforming investigations in two time periods.

What is happening now

Still Life is a point-and-click adventure game built around puzzle-solving, originally released in 2005 for PC and Xbox. The game tasks players with navigating unsettling, liminal environments - sparse and disorienting spaces that form the core of its atmospheric design. Recent coverage has focused on survival strategies within these eerie settings, suggesting the game presents environmental hazards and puzzles that require careful navigation to avoid failure states. The liminal aesthetic appears central to Still Life's identity, creating an exploratory experience where understanding and moving through these strange spaces becomes key to progressing through the adventure.
