D’Avekki Studios has announced that it will release a demo for FMV game sequel The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker 2 this Thursday via Steam, ahead of Steam Next Fest. To celebrate, there’s also a new trailer featuring the title’s gameplay mechanics. I will be publishing a preview for the game in the coming days, based on what it is in the upcoming demo. And trust me, it’s a demo you won’t want to miss! It features a sculptor named Ophelia (played by Sydney Skye) with deep-rooted mother issues. The demo takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to play, depending on how many questions are asked.
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker 2 continues its predecessor’s work. As a therapist, the player is put in the hot seat to solve their clients’ supernatural problems — and two murders to boot! The game features over 40 individual sessions, and the 60-minute demo is just one of them. That’s a lot of recorded video! The original Doctor Dekker actually broke a Guinness World Record for the most full-motion video in a video game, featuring 7 hours, 11 minutes, and 58 seconds of footage across over 1,600 scenes. The sequel seems to be aiming just as high… perhaps higher?
The game stars Aislinn De’Ath (a staple in D’Avekki Studios’ games), Paul Baverstock (Not For Broadcast), Harry Bradley (The Mousetrap), Anna Fraser (Murderous Muses), Beth Gatherer (Murderous Muses), and Skye (most recently seen touring as Alice in Alice in Wonderland).
This new instalment does not require any prior knowledge of the previous game. The gameplay is quite different, too, as players no longer have to type in questions.
“We experimented with a TV series and a 3D gallery in our last two games, but it’s nothing like the buzz we get returning to Dekker’s couch,” said Tim Cowles, D’Avekki Studios director, in an earlier press release. “We can’t wait to show our new roster of patients and stories to players and hope to increase the sequel’s accessibility with our new choice and link input system.”
Developed and published by D’Avekki Studios, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker 2 will be released for PC/Mac via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series later this year. A Nintendo Switch version may follow.
