The perfidious BadShadow brothers, nephews of the old rich man, will try to avoid the success of that search, because it could provoke the lost of their legacy.

Synopsis
The Count of Bramble is a very rich man. He has uncountable properties. Lands, houses, entire buildings, deposits in banks, and others assets of different kinds, makes him one of the individuals with more patrimony in the hold country. And his patrimony yield a very significant amount. All that becomes him in a particularly envied person.
Decades ago, in his youth, he had an affair with one of his maid, and he got her pregnant. He was a married man, with a good social position, and that incident could be an indignity, a scandal. Thus, to elude it, before the creature come to this world, he sent his maid �and his incoming son- to the south of the country, where she was born, with the intention of make it disappear forever.
Years pass and the count never got descendants. Now that he faces the dead, he made up his mind to find that children of his and his maid, and at the same time, he would include him in his will �a very desired will-. That�s why he speak to his personal friend, the notary Mr. Judge, to request his advise and help.
They decide together to entrust to Basil Withap Rick, the most diligent employee of the notary, the search of that son. They give him the information about the mother, the name, the place where she moved, etc. And they ask him to tell the slightest thing about that issue to nobody but they, because it�s a delicate matter.
Basil won�t find an easy track to locate that illegitimate son, despite he expected, and he was told so, a trouble-free task that anyone could effortlessly accomplish.
BadShadow brothers will stalk him secretly. They are the count nephews, and they�ll lose their inheritance if the son appear. And that would mean a hecatomb, a disaster for their comfortable beings: �they�ll have to get to work! They speak with the avaricious Miss Pretty Creeping, employee of the notary, to spy everything. If she does properly, they�ll give her a very big reward: an important piece of the count inheritance.

Thanks. Glad you liked. We expect that you like the rest as much as the plot, or even more. We�ll be dropping more things, but we�ll reserve the image, the videos in-game, etc. for our timeblock. Must apologize for my English; it�s not as good as I�d like.

You are planning to release a serious game? More detective style? Or psychologic?

Sense of humour we'll be an important part of the game. Dialog, characters and puzzles will be animated for it. In a way, it will be a little, a soft parody of the real world, and of the detective stories. The sceneries will be located in a imaginary world, like Garcia Marquez's Macondo, or Faulkner's Yoknaphatawa.
Anyway, if you look my answer in the post about why the name Maldoror, you could have a better idea about it. I'm at this moment preparing also a short video about our references. I'll post it as soon as I can.

Hope this answer helps you.
