Agent Avenue

Two retired intelligence agents just can’t give up spying: In the sleek „Agent Avenue“, they try to expose their opponent.

Ghost Writer (Phantom Ink)

It’s not easy to communicate with the living when you’re dead. This psychic medium only understands what you’re saying letter by letter and a curse means that you’re not able to name any object directly. Instead, people keep asking ridiculous questions like “If the object was an animal, which one would it be?” Up to
