The private eye Varg Veum is in serious trouble. He is charged with a murder he did not commit, and needs your help to clean his name. You are heading towards an unique experience, where you must step outside, into the narrow streets of Bergen, to solve this crime mystery on your own.
You are investigating the crime scenes in person, and follows suspicious clues throughout the city, by cellphone, and on the Internet.
The Fall of Varg Veum is an exciting Reality Game that combines mysterious action in the streets with interactive challenges by cellphone and the web. The game is strongly connected to the geography and culture of Bergen, and represent a totally new way of experiencing the city.
Within the framework of a Varg Veum mystery, the player is investigating the utban landscape looking for clues. These clues are places in physical locations as well as in local media such as news stories and art galleries. The player interacts with the game through sms-dialogues with fictious characters, and by inverstigating online sources such as websites, intranets, email accounts, blogs and surveillance footage.
The game is developed by Mediacircus E in cooperation with Bergens Tidende, Gunnar Staalesen and Mediecenteret HiB.
