Deadline – Part 1 – murder mystery text adventure game

Описание: Tonight I’m starting Infocom’s Deadline, one of the games I’m playing for DOSember! I’m starting a bit early because once again I have decided to play a notoriously difficult detective mystery game and I will not finish in one month. Deadline was also Infocom’s first game with feelies, including a little plastic bag of pills, and other evidence. Originally streamed November 19, 2024.

Deadline is a murder mystery text adventure game, written by Marc Blank and published by Infocom in 1982. It has a simple premise explained clearly on the package: “A locked door. A dead man. And 12 hours to solve the murder.” You play as an unnamed detective who has just arrived at the estate of the recently deceased executive Marshall Robner. The case is all but closed, written off as a suicide by overdose. The only thing that stands out is that Robner had called his lawyer about updating his will three days earlier. In addition to the impossible nature of a locked-room murder, you’ll have to deal with unwilling and indifferent suspects, as well as multiple false leads. Fortunately your assistant Sergeant Duffy is always nearby to take items to the lab for analysis.
