An interactive fiction mystery game where you have 12 hours to determine if the dead body in the locked room was the result of a suicide or something more devious. This was the first Infocom game to include 'feelies', the extra items included with the game that contain important information for completing it.
Tags:
Feelies were the first copy protection that people actually liked.
