Murder mystery  Blood on the Thames  launches on October 24th - with an exclusive preview at Steam NextFest

Team Firestorm :

October 10th - Team Firestorm is thrilled to announce that the narrative-driven gothic murder mystery Blood on the Thames will officially launch on October 24, with a demo being available to play during Steam NextFest, starting October 14. Releasing just in time for Halloween, the game invites players to solve perplexing puzzles, interrogate suspects, and piece together cryptic clues to uncover a chilling conspiracy. Steeped in Lovecraftian horror, Blood on the Thames tells an atmospheric tale of supernatural forces and a woman's relentless search for answers in a city gripped by terror.

Announced earlier this year, Blood on the Thames allows players to don their detective hats as they channel their inner Sherlock Holmes to solve puzzles, interview subjects and unmask the malevolent mystery that entangles 1888’s London.

In the dark and dingy streets of Victorian London, Minerva Ernest has lived a peaceful life - that was until her husband's savaged body was found in the Thames River. Returning home after police questioning, Minerva discovers her maid collapsed in a pool of blood - sending the trajectory of her peaceful life into a terrifying spiral of death and destruction. As she digs deeper into these terrifying events, Minerva realizes that there is a sinister force at play, one that threatens the very beating heart of London itself.

As Minerva navigates the shadowy underworld of London, she must use her keen detective vision to spot crucial clues. However, it will be down to players to use their cunning and wit to understand how these strands might weave their way to the answers they seek.

A cast of captivating characters brings this world to life, but be warned that some don’t mind dirtying their hands to come out on top. You’ll have to build strong relationships to earn their trust and uncover new secrets. You’ll have to decide who has your back - or face the twisting, turning machinations of a cult whose goals are fixed on weaponizing an unknowable entity that could change the world forever. 

Matt Thompson, founder of Team Firestorm and game director, said: "As we get closer to the release, I can’t overstate how happy I am to have gotten this far. I’m thankful for everyone who helped me along the way, and I can’t wait to see what people think of the world and characters we’ve created."

Blood On The Thames comes to PC via Steam on October 24th, with a demo being available during Steam Next Fest from October 14th. For more information, review keys, or additional assets please contact Ethan Howe at [email protected].
