The yearly Carol Reed adventure is right on track, as MDNA Games has just unveiled the first details about Amber's Blood, due for release early next year.

In the eighth adventure for the amateur detective living in Sweden, Carol's long-time friend Stina asks Carol to investigate her grandfather's death when she discovers an obituary that suggests he died much later than she believed. Always up for a good mystery, "Carol's investigatons soon reveal that there is much more to Stina's suspicions than simply a misprint in an obituary, and that Stina's family history is darker and more twisted than either Carol or Stina could have imagined."

The game will once again be a classic first-person, point-and-click slideshow adventure using photographic images, as displayed in the first batch of screenshots.

Amber's Blood is due for release some time in February 2012. In the meantime, check out the official website for more details as they become available, including a playable demo coming soon.
