Step into the role of a desperate young man who is grieving over the death of his only son. He wanders aimlessly through a murky swamp in search of .. something.. if only he knew what.
As he finds himself completely lost in the darkness, suddenly a glimmer of hope appears – a will-‘o-the-wisp named Irrlicht – which promises him help and guidance. When the Irrlicht’s glow touches their surroundings everything changes and new parts of the world are revealed, which had previously been invisible.
Learn to use this light to overcome obstacles, solve puzzles and defeat the horrible monsters of the swamp.

Schein has evolved from a small student project into a promising startup, and we’re happy to frequently hear it compared to Limbo and Braid.

The release is planned for late Q2, or early Q3 2013 (that’s really soon!).

Key Features

  • Scope: 12 levels are waiting to be discovered, protected by 4 ferocious monsters.
  • Game length: 4–8 hours of intense puzzle solving, jump’n’running gameplay.
  • Language: Audio fully synchronized in English – Textual content in English and German.
  • OST: Original, atmospheric soundtrack, ingeniously adjusted to mood and suspense.

System Requirements
Schein is currently being developed for Windows PC and requires a DirectX9 capable graphics card. Controllers/joypads are supported in addition to the regular keyboard.

We just received the amazing news that we are going to Russia in July! Schein competed against hundreds of entries from all around the world and we made it to the Worldwide Finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2013.

Imagine Cup

We want to share this special moment with you and have decided to create a special perk on Indiegogo in celebration of this occasion. Inspired by the year 2013, we are giving away 20 copies of Schein for only €13!
And that’s not all. Have you ever received a postcard from Russia? This is your chance — Claim your perk and once we’re in St. Petersburg, we will buy a postcard, write a message on it, sign it, and mail it to you!
