This is your big break. You’re on the hunt of a killer. You have to interview friends and family of the victim and decide who’s telling the truth. Even computer personalities can be misleading. Be nice to the judge, you have to get warrants to search suspect’s homes and arrest the supposed guilty. Look under the pillow and behind bookcases. Evidence can be hiding right under your nose. You, J.B. Harold must piece together the clues, arrest the suspects and put together a case that’ll hold up in court.
Are you going to let someone get away with murder?
Get ready for an oldie but goody. This game doesn’t have modern graphics; try good ‘ole 8-bit stuff. And you have to read the story instead of listening to the narrator. Despite the seemingly very slow start, the game will keep moving. Just remember, you have to find enough evidence and talk to enough people for the game to give you more options. You can’t expect to sit down and solve the entire case if the first couple of hours. Talk to people. Look around. Take notes. As you pass certain checkpoints, more of the game will open up and you can begin piecing together new information to what you’ve already recorded.
You have been writing this stuff down, right? A pen and paper will be good items to keep around. Keep it organized! There’s a lot of information you’ll need to keep track of. You’ll want to note interview answers, where you found evidence and compare all this stuff to second round interviews and third round. People say different things in the interrogation room than in their own home.
This is a good mystery simulation. However, you will have to work for you dinner on this one. Put the time into the game and you’ll want to stay until you crack the case.
Key things to remember: At different points in the game, people will say different things. Look at your notes for any change in story or alibi. Pace yourself. There’s enough game to fill your evenings for a while. Don’t go all Herculean and try to finish this in one sitting. Your rump won’t like it. Write things down! Also be sure you can find things in your notes. Scribbling on paper won’t do much good if you don’t know who said it and when it was said.
