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

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...

... 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...
