An unexpected guest interrupted my morning routine, speaking in impassioned tones about an intriguing murder. An unassuming woman has been charged with the death of a scoundrel, a fortune-squandering bounder. True, she was found over the body, pistol in hand but there are other avenues in this case that even the Yard has refused to set foot upon – especially when they wind into darker places of London’s society. I have the feeling that there is more to the case than meets the eye.

Really only for those who remember playing them back in the day. This was one of the first console games I played with full motion video. Remember being amazed in 1992 when I played it on the PC Engine Duo. The acting is actually quite good for an early title.
