39 – WDR Hörspiel

The deeper players delve into the world of 39, the more the threads of this gripping story unfold: this innovative combination of a crime audiobook and a classic adventure game has been brought to life with professional voice actors, a striking black-and-white aesthetic, interactive elements and subtle yet carefully placed sound effects. The app makes clever use of a tablet’s unique capabilities: by swiping and zooming, players can unravel the original puzzles. With surround sound headphones, they can also pinpoint the direction of sounds. 39 is a fascinating – and, what’s more, free – experience that gives the term ‘radio play’ a whole new meaning.
