I hope that you'll enjoy it. It was one of the first games I ever made, and I'm really thrilled that so many people will be experiencing it for the first time. If you want something else that's free to play, then you could also check out the first episode of the Space Pilgrim saga. This is the opening chapter of an epic series of point-and-click adventure games in a futuristic setting inspired by the likes of Firefly, The Expanse, Star Trek, and too many other influences to name. Or if you enjoyed The Deed and want more of the same, then there's a standalone expansion called The Deed: Dynasty which offers three new murder scenarios set in different time periods: Medieval, Victorian and the Old West. This game is 60% off at the moment. Also, The Deed II is currently in the late stages of Early Access. This full-blooded sequel takes the original concept and develops it much further, with an upgraded engine and a bunch of new game mechanics. https://store.steampowered.com/app/429470/Space_Pilgrim_Episode_I_Alpha_Centauri/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/460960/The_Deed_Dynasty/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155660/The_Deed_II/ For information about other Pilgrim Adventures games, check out the official website or our creator page here on Steam.The Deed II Now on Steam Early Access!Nov 15, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33066823/9353f5193a8b925df30e3e6b112b0ff7e6fcdc68.jpg Why Early Access? “The Deed II is a very complex game with a lot of different variables and possible outcomes. We feel that actively involving a large number of players in its development will help us to achieve its fullest potential.” What is the current state of the Early Access version? “The game will already be fully playable when entering early access, though it is likely to have a few bugs or inconsistencies in its present state. It already contains all of the features that are listed on the store page. Refer to the "About This Game" section for more details.” Wishlist/Buy on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1155660/The_Deed_II/The Deed II, Preview #4: "When the Deed is Done"Nov 6, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsThis will probably be the final one of these previews, as we're planning to release the game into Early Access fairly soon. None of the other Pilgrim Adventures games have ever used Early Access, but due to the complexity of The Deed II, I feel that it could very helpful to involve a number of players in the final stages of the game's development. So if you want to be a part of that process, you can - or if you'd rather just play the finished product then you can wait a short while for the full release. Meanwhile, onto the preview! Perhaps the most intense and engaging part of any Deed game takes place after the murder has been committed and you're being interrogated by the inspector. Here we will cover some of the details about how that element is handled in The Deed II. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/12b9a8c7a31bf7c9c6a53c8063ceef1f0e3f70db.png The Interrogation So, you've committed the crime and now you're hoping to get away with it. After a brief introduction, the inspector will ask you questions about your background and then run through all of your actions from the previous evening, focusing mainly on the conversations you've had with the other occupants of the brothel. If you've played the previous games, this should all sound quite familiar. One small difference from the earlier games is that everything relating to a particular character will now be grouped together during the interrogation. So if you asked multiple people about Marie Dupont over the course of the evening, for example, the inspector will cover all of the information about her at once. That should make things a bit easier to follow. Just as in the previous games, you'll want to have asked questions about characters that will give you a useful clue or paint them in a negative light. At the same time you need to be careful not to reveal anything that could exonerate them or make them seem harmless. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/b147262cad98f8f008ddc1ab9883a686d76a17b3.png The Subtle Art of Framing In the current version of the game, planting evidence is absolutely necessary if you want to frame someone. (Although this may change based on player feedback regarding the game's difficulty.) At the end of the interrogation, rather than running through a laundry list of his suspicions regarding various characters, the inspector will simply state what he feels is the most likely theory about what happened. If he doesn't have a good piece of evidence to rely upon, either the crime will remain unsolved or he'll feel inclined to start digging into your character's past and uncover your motive. And of course, even if you've planted the correct piece of evidence in the correct place, you will still need to guide the inspector in the right direction while also diverting his suspicions away from yourself. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/836f3f2690adf3f3254...The Deed II, Preview #3: "A Dynamic Environment"Oct 21, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsAnd we're back! This third preview covers most of the new elements in the game's enviroment which didn't exist in the previous entries of The Deed series. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/2d2223177347bd912ae9a6d922747e9f2c5179f8.png NPC Movement As was mentioned in the last preview, there are certain key NPCs who will move around the brothel according to their own personal schedules. Perhaps they will need to get some fresh air, or take a trip to the bathroom, or head upstairs with a client. This movement can have numerous consequences. For example, if you ask someone about another character while that person is still standing within earshot, the subject of your curiosity might become offended. Whereas if they have already moved elsewhere, the person with whom you're conversing could be more open to expressing their true feelings about them. The same applies when you interact with items in the environment. If an NPC sees you trying to interfere with a particular item, it might raise their suspicions - so it could be better to wait and see if that person moves away at some point. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/1c08688b5700de8ace8236aadf80f736d7ef8e68.png Timing the Crime Your intended murder target is one of the characters who will move around a lot, so you will need to find a good opening. The movement of other NPCs will also give you various things to consider when it comes to the timing of the crime. Will you have a clear escape route once the deed is done? Who is the character most likely to come and investigate first, and where will they be coming from? Of course, "brash and bold" is also an option. You can even choose to commit the murder in front of witnesses, if that seems like a fun thing to do. This can lead to some unique and rather unusual endings - and of course there will be some special Steam achievements for managing to reach the more peculiar conclusions. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/5eab21b6e4e686a990b3221678b7c07a41728f3f.png Planting Evidence I was never fully satisfied with the evidence-planting system in the previous games of The Deed series. You always had to go into the particular room where you wanted to plant the evidence, then select the item in your inventory, which led to a bit of text describing precisely where the evidence would be placed. This system was far from ideal and not very intuitive, so it was something that I definitely wanted to improve. So, introducing containers! In The Deed II, you can interact with pretty much any type of container around the brothel - whether it's a desk, a bag, a set of shelves, a cupboard, etc. Then you can take or deposit any item in that container just by clicking a couple of buttons. Unlike in the previous games where you could only pick up two items during the whole of any scenario, you can now take and deposit items as much as you like, althoug...The Deed II, Preview #2: "Time"Oct 7, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsAside from the enhanced graphics and character portraits, probably the most notable difference between The Deed II and its predecessors will be the way in which the passage of time is handled. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/844d6d3ca9655ab0ae38567ae3cc935c30765a6f.png Game Time In the previous games of The Deed series, each scenario was divided into certain sections - e.g. exploration, dinner time, planting evidence. The next section would begin only once the player had completed certain actions, such as picking up two items from around the house. The Deed II will be the first game in the series to have a realistic time system which comes complete with an on-screen clock. The player will have up to one hour in "game time" to explore the building, talk to the patrons and gather/plant evidence before finally committing the murder. Game time will advance faster than real time, as it won't take the average player a full hour to accomplish these things. The exact rate will be optimised during final playtesting. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/5ebe973fe60693313653e57b675740d5b816def0.png Text and Conversations Of course, in a largely text-based game you probably don't want the minutes to be ticking away while you're engaged in conversation with a character, making you feel like you need to speed through the text. But fear not! The normal flow of time will be automatically paused whenever a message window or conversation window is open. In order to maintain realism, the idea I'm experimenting with is that when you're talking to a character, each meaningful topic of conversation will advance the clock by one minute. So you can read through the text itself at your own pace, knowing that it has no impact on how much time is passing. Certain choices will also lead to cut-scenes that can advance the clock by a longer period, such as if our protagonist decides to spend some "quality time" with one of the ladies of La Fleur Rouge. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/7e73f27277571f5f9ffd8c8e0070e8f296902c52.png Time Management The intention of the new time system is to offer more freedom and opportunities to the player than before. For example, you can choose when you want to commit the murder, rather than being limited to a single opportunity. What I don't want to do is turn the whole game into a "race the clock" style escapade, so you should still have plenty of time to formulate a plan and do the things you need to do. That said, if you choose to talk to every character about every available subject, you will soon find yourself running short of time - so you might need to be smarter and more selective about some of your choices than in the previous games. This will also increase replay value, as you won't explore every single conversation topic during a single playthrough. There will be a simple "wait" function in the game menu, so...The Deed II, Preview #1: "The Setting"Sep 23, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsWith The Deed II set to be released later on this year, I thought it would be nice to whet your appetites in the meantime by posting a few previews of different aspects of the game. This first one will focus on some of the research behind the setting of the game – a Parisian brothel during the interwar years. This was an era of great change for the city of love, and for French society in general. Class divisions were slowly eroding, for various reasons. The status and role of women in society was becoming increasing fluid, and children were often much better educated than their parents. That said, Paris was not without its fair share of problems – and some of the old social divisions did still hold true. Across the city there was a significant housing shortage, with many families forced to live together in cramped apartments with only a couple of rooms, sleeping on folding cots in their kitchens or living rooms. There was certainly no shortage of crime and addiction in certain areas of the city. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33753618/5a4149f3762ebbfec1c7a209e0e9ebfbf425b4a2.png “THE BUSINESS” Between 1800 and the mid 20th century, Paris was said to provide the finest and most luxurious brothels in the western world. These places were known by many names, including maisons de tolerance, maisons closes or maisons d’illusions. At the peak of “the business”, more than two thousand registered brothels were policed by the city’s vice squads – or police des moeurs. There were many rules and restrictions which had to obeyed. Brothels were forbidden from advertising except at night, when they could do so by hanging a red lantern over the door. Every girl in residence must have her own room with access to washing facilities, and must be seen by a doctor every week. Any sign of infection and she might be removed to the notorious Saint Lazare prison hospital. Despite all of these stringent requirements, brothels in general were not only tolerated but were largely accepted and even embraced by French society at large. Many former madames went on to open very respectable businesses, and the opening of one prominent brothel was attended by the French Minister of Justice himself. The future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom was a famous patron of a brothel named Le Chabanais, and he visited it regularly during the 1880s and 1890s. One room even had his coat of arms depicted above the bed. Since Edward was a particularly large man, a cabinet-maker named Louis Soubrier was hired to construct a special “love seat” for him, which enabled his sexual partners to indulge his particular vices without too much effort on his part. And indeed, any vices were indulged – with many brothels specialising in serving a very specific clientele. One thing I learned through my research was that, in portraying the brothels of this era, it’s impossible to exaggerate the level of decadence and the readiness to please.
