Lynn walks into Lügenberg expecting a vampire detective story. What she gets is a case that rewrites itself every time she thinks she has solved it. Arne doesn't give you answers, he gives you better questions, and by the time you realize the mystery has been about you the whole time, the show has already moved on to the next one. The pacing stumbles when it tries to be both a mystery box and a character drama at once. For fans of games like Disco Elysium who want their investigations to feel lived-in, not just solved, this is the show that gets it.
Lynn Reinweiß, a nobleman's daughter who adores vampires, finds herself in desperate need of help one dark night. She wanders into Lügenberg, a mysterious city where non-humans live alongside humans in an uneasy peace. There she meets Arne Neuntöte, a vampire detective with supernatural powers whom the city calls the worst. Though their worlds should never have met, the two join forces to solve bloody murder cases. As bizarre incidents unfold where the human and the uncanny meet, they learn again and again that the truth lies deeper than it first appears.
