Our take on Bohemian Killing
The game trades broad action systems for a concentrated trial format built around testimony, evidence, and consequences. That focus leaves less room for combat, large-scale exploration, or varied moment-to-moment mechanics than many adventure games.
What is Bohemian Killing?
Set in steampunk Paris in 1894, Bohemian Killing follows Alfred Ethon, an inventor on trial for murdering a young woman.
The game combines courtroom questioning with first-person exploration. In the courtroom, questions about evidence and witnesses open flashbacks to earlier events. During these sequences, actions and interactions alter Ethon’s testimony and the final verdict. Players can challenge evidence, question witness accounts, manipulate circumstances, or present different explanations for suspicious details. Several standard endings and one hidden ending are available. Standard mode leaves consequences to the player’s decisions, while Story mode provides advice from an attorney during testimony. The game includes voice acting for Alfred Ethon by Stephane Cornicard.
