Apocalipsis is a point-and-click adventure game, in the vain of Samorost and Machinarium, where all puzzles have a hidden meaning. With a unique artstyle inspired by 15th century engravings it tells a story about heartbreak, redemption and, quite literally, the end of the world.

Dear friends!
There’s a great deal of things happening around Klabater lately! Here’s another very cool announcement and this one is something completely new, even for ourselves! After exploring European historical settings in [i]We. The Revolution[/i] and [i]Help Will Come Tomorrow[/i] (to be released late April!) we now decided to tell you a truly american tale, the one that revolves around really dark episodes of American crime history...
[i]This is the Zodiac Speaking[/i] is a dark, fact-based single player FPP adventure thriller, combining stealth & detective modes in a stylized world of California 1970s and based on the story of Zodiac, one of the most famous never-caught serial killers. Play as Robert Hartnell, a San Francisco journalist, who receives a phone call from the Zodiac, greeting him with the memorable ‘Hello, this is the Zodiac speaking’...
[i]This is the Zodiac Speaking[/i] is a thriller with elements of classic horrors, stealth mechanics, detective mode and several endings to discover. The gloomy atmosphere of the game is achieved through the original, stylized graphics and epic cinematic music. The co-author of the script to [i]This is the Zodiac Speaking[/i] is Lukasz Orbitowski, one of the best Polish writers, laureate of the prestigious Paszporty Polityki award and nominated for the Nike award. Together with Krzysztof Grudziński, Head of Punch Punk Games, they plunged into the dark and dangerous 70s to produce an immersive and mature story. Music for the game was created by A_GIM, restless innovator and experimenter of the polish electronic scene!
[i]This is the Zodiac Speaking[/i] is being developed by Punch Punk Games, a studio already known for creating intriguing [i]Apocalipsis[/i] game (published by Klabater, as well!)
We are so happy to work with Punch Punk Games again! Our last cooperation was [i]Apocalipsis: Harry at the End of the World[/i], a unique medieval-inspired adventure experience. However, With [i][b]This is The Zodiac Speaking[/b][/i] we enter a completely new field. We try our best to publish games that somehow relate to human condition in general but also focus on the fate of concrete individuals. 1970’s in USA was a period of radical social unrest and divisions, it is an ideal background for a compelling and mature story.
