Sleuth - The Crime Scene

high conceptobjectivegame structurecrime scenegraphicssoundsrequirements

toolsSeveral tools are available to help in this process:

  • a magnifying glass to examine items and locations in detail
  • a pair of tweezers to collect hairs and fibres - a must otherwise you could contaminate the evidence if you picked them up with your fingers
  • and a flashlight to light dark rooms when the killer is attempting to sabotage your efforts

The actions of the player and his/her interactions with the suspects will influence the types of responses given by the programme. This allows for the game play to be largely directed by the players themselves and parallels the unpredictable nature of a real crime scene.

Two useful features that can be accessed from the Crime Scene are:
  • the book icon which opens the notebook
  • the clipboard icon, which displays a quick inventory
    of rooms visited, items examined and suspects questioned.
