Already loved the original from 1994 and played it for many, many thousands of hours in my life.
But now that I played the remake, for me there is no reason to go back the original. I found my new favourite game:

It is so much smoother, modern and stayed faithful to the original.
The art and drawings (fire elemental!) are beautiful.
I enjoy all the little effects, sounds, and events happening. I can feel the magic.

It is an amazing work for a little studio of only six developers!

Everything is moddable. We also have an amazing community on discord who can help out with everything! So there will be so much more content for this classic diamond here!

Total suchterregend. Einfach gut!

Besser als Minesweeper. Komplett ohne Raten - Irgendwo befindet sich immer ein logischer Weg zur Lösung.

Enjoyed it a lot!

The 39 Steps is an animated, illustrated espionage-novel with sounds, music and linear narration - and without any real choices for the "player" during the whole story. So don't expect a full pc game, but instead anticipate a classic digital novel adaption, which totally knows how to entertain the audience.
You'll find yourself in an authentic England of 1914 and you'll be able to enjoy wonderfully painted illustrations.
All actions one is able to do are: examining various objects, clicking at things, or moving the cursor from time to time into specified directions to simulate actions, like for example running away, shaving, building explosive devices, opening doors, etc. And it works - and raises the level of immersion during the narration.

It looks great, the atmosphere feels great and the narration has a fluent feeling to it. Plus it's easy to get the 100%-achievements just along the way.
Altogether its an exciting, enthralling Spy Fiction Story with a lot of moments of suspense! Couldn't have asked for more.

I recommend it for relaxed autumn evenings, when reading is just the perfect thing to do.
