About Cienie
Start here if you want Cienie in the browser: a dark visual novel about Tomasz Tyszko, Markus Waldner, a private investigation agency and five missing people in Sypniewo.
Team Cienie describes Cienie as a mystery-thriller visual novel with supernatural elements set in the Polish town of Sypniewo.
The official itch.io page introduces Tomasz Tyszko as a law university dropout who works as an intern at Markus Waldner's private investigation agency.
