All except one missing body and the Psychotron. It is now your job to uncover the conspiracies leading to the current situation of events.The game presents two modes of play: investigation and interrogation. In the first mode, it is the user's job to search static scenes for clues and information by selecting objects and investigating them further, with the hope of garnering more clues. In interrogation mode, the user selects dialogue to deliver to the live video actors playing the other characters. The user obtains additional information through these conversations.During the game, users will find themselves at different locales where they must first investigate the surroundings and then talk with other characters. Once all information has been gathered, the game will advance the user to the next locale. Most areas have puzzles that must be solved to further the story as well.The game features a rock-and-roll soundtrack, and the responses from all characters are voiced through the user's sound card. Most people will find the game to take no longer than approximately four hours to complete, as it has few scenes and few impediments to its linear progression.A point-based scoring system exists which indicates how well players have performed during the game. Yet the game does not supply a total point score so users may know how close to the maximum score they were. There is also a save feature so players can resume progress at a later time.For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
