Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Still Life is a 2005 Adventure Game developed by Microïds. It acts as a spinoff of Post Mortem. Taking place in the winter of 2004, the story features Chicago FBI Special Agent Victoria McPherson, who is investigating a series of grisly and disturbing murders by a masked killer known as the Chicago Ripper. The body count is getting alarmingly high, and the FBI just doesn't seem to get closer to catching the culprit, much to Victoria's frustration.During a Christmas visit to her father's home, her investigation takes an interesting turn when she discovers a series of secret case files belonging to her detective grandfather, detailing a separate string of murders in Prauge by the Perlovka Ripper, which share a striking similarity to the ones she is trying to solve. In both cases, the perpetrator targeted sex workers and murdered them in terrible ways, and strangely enough, wore a silver mask, dark cloak and top hat. The game follows both Victoria in her modern day quest to stop the killer, and her grandfather Gus McPherson in his investigation of the 1920s Prague murders.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A major theme throughout this dark, atmospheric game is art, as the (soon obvious) sinister usage of the still-life painting technique in its title suggests.It has a sequel, too.

The Chicago story has the Chicago Ripper, a copycat of the Perlovka Ripper targeting women in Chicago and who FBI Agent Victoria MacPherson is looking for. The killer is revealed in the sequel to be Vic’s boyfriend Richard Valdez, the grandson of Mark Ackerman following in his footsteps.

And Now for Someone Completely Different: You start the game by playing as Victoria, but then switch to Gus for the Prague events, then back to Victoria and so on.

Big Bad: Both time periods have the Serial Killer that the respective protagonist is pursuing. The Prauge story has the Perlovka Ripper, a killer of prostitutes who Gus MacPherson is hired to hunt down. The killer is budding artist Mark Ackerman. The Chicago story has the Chicago Ripper, a copycat of the Perlovka Ripper targeting women in Chicago and who FBI Agent Victoria MacPherson is looking for. The killer is revealed in the sequel to be Vic’s boyfriend Richard Valdez, the grandson of Mark Ackerman following in his footsteps.
