Early noir murder mystery, August 18, 2010by ZUrlocker (Traverse City, Michgian) This was one of Infocom's early games, following in the footsteps of Zork and the earlier mystery Deadline. Given Deadline's reputation for being quite difficult, some might find Witness too easy. I thought it was a good game with quite a few interesting twists. It's your basic murder mystery with several suspects, some interesting clues and a few red herrings. There are a few things that need to be pieced together and sometimes you have to wait for someone or something to happen. Still, I admit I was tempted by the InvisiClues! In case it's not clear, the inspiration for the title is that you're the witness to a murder that you then need to solve. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
Comments on this reviewPrevious | << 1 >> | Next Xervosh, September 8, 2010 - Reply My favorite "feelie" to come with "Witness" was the real pack of matches (with the phone number written inside). I actually used a few of the matches in that pack, so I know they worked. The entire contents of the game also came in this cool case file deal, like you sometimes see lawyers use. ZUrlocker, September 9, 2010 - Reply Yep, the feelies were definitely cool. I never thought to try the matches! Who knew? And if anyone has one of the original Witness or Deadline Dossiers that they're willing to part with, let me know. I'm trying to rebuild my infocom collection. --Zack www.z-machine-matter.com |
