''The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker'' is a FullMotionVideo game in which your character is a psychologist, called to fill in for the titular Doctor Dekker, who has been murdered. Your job is to treat his roster of patients, while also trying to determine who killed him. However, Doctor Dekker's patients have some unique problems which may make your job more difficult than expected.
Since so much of the plot is revealed directly through gameplay, some tropes might be spoilers by their very nature. Proceed with caution.
