D'Avekki Studios :

Full Motion Video game experts D’Avekki Studios have today announced THE INFECTIOUS MADNESS OF DOCTOR DEKKER 2, a sequel to their best-selling debut release where players become therapists trying to solve a murder whilst curing their patients.

Doctor Dekker 2 features a double murder for players to solve, six suspects to question and cure, and the return of fan favourite Aislinn De’Ath as Marianna. The new instalment does not require players to have played the original game and also drops the requirement to type questions to explore the game fully.

“We experimented with a TV series and a 3D gallery in our last two games but it’s nothing like the buzz we get returning to Dekker’s couch,” said D’Avekki Studios director, Tim Cowles. “We can’t wait to show our new roster of patients and stories to players and hope to increase the sequel’s accessibility with our new choice and link input system.”

The announcement is accompanied by a teaser trailer (link below) and a Steam page where players can wishlist the game, with release expected on PC and consoles in 2025.
