## Description
Mortum: Medieval Detective is an immersive cooperative investigation experience set in a grim world inspired by medieval Europe. You and your friends play as agents of a secret organization, unraveling mysterious crimes where legends and superstitions come to life. With three interconnected scenarios (each lasting up to 3 hours), the game offers total freedom: choose aggressive or subtle approaches, surveil locations, interrogate suspects, and gather clues. Every decision changes the story's course. The card system (representing locations, witnesses, or evidence) creates a unique deductive puzzle each game. Prepare for nights of suspense, plot twists, and plenty of logical reasoning – but beware, not everything is as it seems in this game where medieval folklore hides deadly secrets.
