The story
In this game adaptation of Vilmos Kondor’s acclaimed crime novel series, the well-known investigative journalist Gordon Zsigmond follows the trail of a ruthless killer.
After a chilling murder at the Abbázia Café, Gordon knows this case is dirty. He needs help from people like you. People who work fast when puzzles are involved.
Are you ready to come to his aid in this dark, noir-inspired mission?
“Modern times have caught up with Gordon as well. Although I have always liked to think of him as someone who stands at the forefront of progress.
Through the collaboration of Open Books and Landventure, a truly unique reading-promotion game has been created. One that blends the characters and locations of the Budapest Noir series with smartphone-based virtual reality and the real city of Budapest itself. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
So my crime series has now conquered new platforms as well. I hope you will enjoy this game, whose text I personally wrote.”
