Welcome to San Francisco of the future - a strange megapolis with a
post-apocalyptic feel, where ordinary humans co-exist with mutants - the result of
radioactivity. In this city is also the office of Tex Murphy, a lonely private
investigator, kind-hearted, yet bitterly ironic. He is hired to investigate the
disappearance of a scientist named Thomas Malloy. A series of murders occur at that
time, and before long Tex finds himself involved in a complex conspiracy of political
intrigues and shocking scientific discoveries. "The Pandora Directive" is a sequel
to Under A Killing Moon, utilizing the same 3D engine, real actors, and gameplay
system. You can physically explore the locations you visit, looking at objects from
different angles, zooming in, etc. You'll have to talk to many people about various
topics, and also to solve some complex puzzles. The game provides a built-in solution
for the puzzles, but you don't get any points for solving them if you use it. The game
introduces a new gameplay element: Tex has three kinds of answers at his disposal
during some important dialogues. Depending on what kind of approach you choose for
Tex (especially in conversations with his sweetheart Chelsee), you'll come to one of
the 6 different endings. |
