Night Watcher Comes to Light

Akella studio is working on a new point & click game as seems to be the trend but they have stated that their game will be darker than the competition, taking inspiration from Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father or The Black Mirror. Could the game be the adptation of the Russian novel Night Watch? Which was already turned into a film in 2004?
You will play the role of a journalist looking for his lost friend in a retired Russian town. The game is set to be about 15 hours and will feature some action scenes (as shown in one of the screenshots). Let’s hope it turns out to be as good as the Gabriel Knights games.
