A peculiar blend of FMV and point-and-click, this early CD-ROM title thrust players into a gruesome murder mystery via live-action footage. The experience hinges on meticulously exploring crime scenes and interrogating suspects, piecing together the narrative through a crude but effective interface. Its lasting impact stems from the way it foreshadowed modern interactive storytelling, even if its acting and gameplay feel quaint by today's standards.
