I've previewed the demo of The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker 2 ahead of its launch on Thursday. It's got great characters and stories, and a new gameplay system — and it's a good one! 🎮 #DDNet #News #VideoGames #Gaming #FMV @davekki.bsky.social
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker 2 promises a new helping of Lovecraftian psychiatry, and you can play its demo soon. buff.ly/rgM4flz
Demo announcement and end of year dev update - happy incoming 2026 everyone!!
Quite a fitting announcement for Halloween methinks...Very thrilled to be back for my 4th @davekki.bsky.social live-action video game! It's been such a joy filming and recording with Tim, Lynda and Rachel again! And no spoilers about the demo but the game's shaping up very nicely indeed! 🎮😍
Ophelia, played by Sydney Skye. A young woman with long brown hair sits on a dark leather couch. She is holding her hands out in front of her and wears an expression of anguish.
Detective Dune, played by Harry Bradley. A bearded man in shirt and suspenders (braces) holds up a photo he's taken from an open briefcase. The photo is in shadow but he seems pretty excited about what he's found.
Marianna, played by Aislinn De'Ath. A woman with cascading red curls poses on a green leather couch in a a black lace dress. The room is dark but her face and arm are caught by the falling light.
Killian, played by Paul Baverstock. A man in a bright red lumberjack shirt is hunched tightly against the arm of a green Chesterfield sofa. He's staring directly at you but has one hand on a gramophone that's partly hidden in the shadows.
We’ve added 7 new screenshots from Dekker 2 over on the Steam and PlayStation store pages :) Here are 4 at random (as that’s the Bluesky limit!)

Is Murderous Muses a Halloween videogame? Nah… #PleasePlayOurGameThisMonth

It's 5 years to the day since Dark Nights with Poe & Munro launched on Steam! Whilst it's unlikely there will ever be a Season 2, we've pondered rebooting Poe and Munro as an interactive feature film one day. Our to-do list is long and expensive ;)

Proud parents! Hands on with our 4th physical release ☺️❤️
I can see a theme emerging here. 😄
And I wouldn't be surprised if a Raven makes an entrance in your novels at some point, perhaps on a midnight dreary...
Even if not, I'll be eager to read them!

A painting of a mysterious island. Or maybe it's a sleeping sea creature. I'm sure it's fine.
A painting of a brightly lit merry-go-round with indistinct people silhouetted in the foreground.
A painting of a dim cellar line with row upon row of oak casks. It's good stuff... but don't drink too much of it.
A painting of the last great auk sighted on Mirlhaven Island, shortly before its second extinction. The auk is backlit by bright clouds in a blue sky, and surrounded by green and purple hills.
Happy Mirlhaven Day from the land of ghosts and fish! Visit the Auk Fair, drink Mirl Port Wine and raise a toast to the great auk! Please do not visit the Undulating Hills.

And if it becomes a trilogy, will 'BUNNIES' be the third part? 🐰
I'm so happy for you and Lynda that this has finally been resolved with such a positive outcome! Well done! 🥂
We were still filming Dark Nights with Poe and Munro when this started - it’s been a bit challenging since then…
Who's the killer in Murderous Muses? Look for clues in randomised episodes of "Mirlhaven's Unsolved Mysteries". This time, it was someone who'd visited the Theatre District...
