Post Mortem

About

Post Mortem casts you as Gus Macpherson, a former detective turned artist lured back into crime-solving after a mysterious client hires him to investigate violent deaths. Set in a shadowy Paris, the game blends inventory-based puzzles with investigative dialogue, as you piece together clues about occult rituals and ancient artifacts. Gus’s supernatural intuition guides him through eerie locations, from dimly lit alleys to hidden cult gatherings, balancing logic and intuition to figure out a blood-soaked conspiracy. The game earns praise for its moody atmosphere and layered storytelling, with players noting its knack for blending old-school point-and-click mechanics with a twisting mystery. While its 2002 release date shows in some dated visuals, the core design remains sharp, offering a focused single-player experience that prioritizes clever puzzles and narrative depth over modern polish.
