“Criminal investigation is a teamwork. Working alone as a detective is a myth.”
An anonymous professor at the Criminology Institute of Paris.

Cryo Networks announces a new criminal investigation online game.

England, 1888. The Victorian Empire and its pretended respectability, her Gracious Majesty’s subjects most deathly and secret instincts … This is the background for the Fog plot, a new 3D online game by Cryonetworks, that will feature criminal investigation in the realm of a detective community.

Players join an association that aims at helping the Scotland Yard investigations. They regularly meet in a club and discuss the current affairs. Indeed, team gaming will be essential: many brains will be needed to solve this pioneer virtual community-based video game.

A saga of 12 episodes, each to be played once a month. Each episode can be played separately, but the serial players will soon realize that the games are involved in a much more global and scary plot …

Choose among four characters: a journalist, a lawyer, a scientist, and a medium, each of them having their own tools and different perceptions of their environnement.They will all need to collaborate in order to find the solution and unmask the criminals.
