What order to play games?

I bought the Double Dekker bundle so which is the proper order to play? Doctor Dekker or Poe & Monroe first?

And where does Shapeshifting Detective fit in the chronology?

You can start with The Shapeshifting Detective, next Doctor Dekker and finally Poe and Munro. Poe and Munro is a prequel to The Shapeshifting Detective.

All three games are standalone so it doesn't really matter what order you play them in or whether you play only one or two or all three.

You don't need to play The Shapeshifting Detective before Doctor Dekker as there's no story continuity between the two. However, as mr_leo says, Poe and Munro is a prequel to Shapeshift and so you might appreciate some of the references more if you play Poe and Munro last (but this isn't needed to enjoy the game!)

How is Moe and Punroe a prequel to the Shapeshifter if I'm pretty sure Poe mentions saving his little Munkey from the killer in the Shapeshifting Detecto? The shish kebab line?

Nice spot :) Poe's talking about Dennis/Viktor, who is mentioned in The Shapeshifting Detective and whose encounter with Munro happened prior to the events in Poe and Munro

Also, Poe does not directly save her in any of the scenarios for TSD.

It should also be mentioned that during the course of TSD it is totally possible for Munro to perish (in more than one way).

Canonizing decisions in this type of game can be unpopular, so going backwards was probably the easiest route.

While bad things can happen to both Poe and Munro, in no situation they can actually perish in this game. Some outcomes can be perceived as happier, but none will be tragic for the 2 protagonists. They have plot-imunity, since both still need to be alive by the time of TSD.

wow, i knew nothing of this! i tried Dr.Dekker a bit, (probably not long enough) and it wasn't my cup of tea... I love Poe and Monroe though! So basically, i should stop playing P&M and play the Shapeshifter Detective first?
