In the latest game from acclaimed Tex Murphy creators Aaron Conners and Chris Jones, modern day events take place a few months after the conclusion of 3 Cards to Midnight, and Jess Silloway has been trying to come to grips with her unique abilities. Players will explore the mystery behind the sudden 1929 disappearance of a man calling himself "The Magician" and his select group of guests on All Hallows Eve. Following a series of new troubling experiences, however, she finds herself at "one of the most haunted spots in the world", an isolated bed & breakfast in Maine, along with a group of paranormal investigators who have come to make contact with the other side. Still a casual game along the lines of its predecessor, it will include some technical differences like a significant graphical overhaul, subtitles, and the ability to run the game full screen, but the changes extend to the gameplay as well. While still including a mix of clue-based room searches and traditional puzzles, item identification now includes "objects that connect, have common bonds, or are opposites." The game no longer relies on "English-specific wordplay", and has a branching narrative and a third difficulty level. |
