Murder In The Abbey (released in some countries as The Abbey) is an adventure video game, developed by the Spanish studio Alcachofa Soft and released in 2008.[1][2] The game is inspired by the 1987 title La Abadía del Crimen and the 1980 novel The Name of the Rose.
Plot
The game is set in the Middle Ages, where a monk named Leonardo of Toledo is ordered to deliver the young Bruno to the Nuestra Señora de la Natividad Abbey for study with the local monks, a "dark, dastardly murder interferes with this kiddie drop-off".[3]
Development
Games4women observed that the "credits were heavily populated by German and Spanish names which most likely accounted for the authentic feel of the game".[5] GameWatcher noted: "As a game set in a Christian monastery it deals with Christian themes of morality and right and wrong".[6]
Around 70 minutes of music was written for the game, composed and directed by chief developer Emilio de Paz himself, and recorded by the Prague Symphony Orchestra.[7]
