Unteralterbach is a fictional mystery visual novel set in a quiet Bavarian mountain town, where strange events and unexplained occurrences create a tense and unsettling atmosphere.
The story follows Bernd Lauert, a 24-year-old socially isolated young man who relocates to the remote town hoping to restart his life. Despite his lack of social skills and motivation, he unexpectedly finds himself involved with the local police department. Due to unusual circumstances, Bernd is asked to assist with an ongoing investigation linked to suspicious activity happening around the town.
At first, the case seems straightforward. But as Bernd explores deeper, he starts uncovering hidden secrets, inconsistencies in testimonies, and mysterious behavior from the town’s residents. Shadows in the forest, unexplained phenomena, and eerie coincidences begin to suggest that something far more complex — possibly even supernatural — is influencing events in Unteralterbach.
As Bernd becomes entangled in the investigation, he realizes:
-
The town has a long history of strange incidents
-
Several residents are hiding crucial information
-
There may be a deeper conspiracy buried beneath everyday life
-
A silent force seems to be manipulating events from behind the scenes
What begins as a simple task turns into a dark and intricate mystery, where Bernd must untangle truth from illusion while navigating the town’s unsettling secrets.
In Unteralterbach, appearances are deceiving — and uncovering the truth may come at a price.
