Artematica, the creators of Martin Mystère, are developing a new old-fashioned adventure game for all the people who love playing them. This game niche still has a solid following, and we’ve seen quite a few of the old point-and-click games being released recently. Jonathan Danter is the lead character of Belief and Betrayal (dramatic title), he is an American journalist investigating a church-related conspiracy that has been going on for hundreds of years. Besides the above mentioned investigation, you will also be looking into the mysterious death of your own uncle who has died in London. Jonathan will be visiting many Old European cities on his quest for the truth, whatever it may be.
Belief and Betrayal, an upcoming game developed by Italian company Artematica, follows the adventures of American journalist Jonathan Danter as he investigates a centuries-old church conspiracy and the more recent death of his uncle, and finds that the two may be related. Belief and Betrayal shares many similarities with Artematica’s previous game, Martin Mystère (also known as Crime Stories), but it sports some key improvements as well. Artematica CEO Riccardo Cangini and ANACONDA PR representative Claas Wolter demonstrated an early version of the game for us at E3.
As Belief and Betrayal opens, Jonathan Danter is preparing for an interview with an important member of the American church. His plans change, however, when he answers a phone call from a Scotland Yard detective. The detective tells Jonathan that his uncle Frank has been found dead in London, stabbed in the back. Jonathan is stunned by the information, since he has believed his uncle to be dead for the past ten years.
