Carol has written a book about one of her previous adventures. She has put a lot of work into it, but after receiving rejections from several publishers, her enthusiasm for the project is beginning to wane. Her hope is somewhat rekindled when a publisher who recently rejected her book sends her an SMS, telling Carol that he wants to meet her. However, the publisher is not interested in Carol’s writing skills, but in her aptitude for locating missing persons. He wants to hire her to find a missing eccentric author. Its obvious to Carol from the very beginning that it’s not an average missing person case. The author’s wife was murdered 6 years ago. Just before his disappearance, a young woman was found murdered, with pages from the author’s latest book stuffed into her mouth.

Quern is a first person puzzle adventure with captivating story and beautiful graphics. Quern refreshes the genre with flexible gameplay and reuseable puzzle mechanics. The visuals and the music combine traditional and modern elements providing a unique mood for the game. One of the specialities of Quern is that the tasks to be solved are not managed as separate, individual and sequential units, but as a complex entity, amongst which the players may wander and experiment freely. Often a bad or seemingly irrational result may bring the player closer to the final solution, if those are reconsidered and thought over again later, in the possession of the knowledge gained during the game.
