THE MURDERER by Michael Zerbo available at: http://www.freewebs.com/nameless/ Windows PC game This is a point’n’click game. Instructions are provided how to access your inventory and how to play. You are Charles Brown, the personal servant to Robert Harris, a rich London businessman. Jin Devlin, a groundskeeper has approached you with a plan to kidnap Harris’ daughter in exchange for a ransom. You assume he was kidding and hope it was a joke. The game is straightforward, though at times you may need to visit several locations (trial and error) before you know what to do where and when, so save at critical points. Only two hints appear to be necessary. The first is you need to meet the women and are asked to leave twice, before they are gone. Then you need to leave something that may frighten people at the door. The second is to carefully scan for new directions available to you when you return to the seaport. Solution: Because the location arrows are only visible when you scan the page with your cursor, the following walkthrough does not use directions. So you will need to explore the areas yourself. You begin in the gardens. You hear voices to the south. Find and take a strawberry. You can take the mushroom if you wish. Find Mrs. Harris and talk to her. Grab Alice. Return and enter the house and talk with Harris who says his wife is late. Search his office and get the candle. Find Alice and Mrs. Harris who can’t get Alice to move. Grab Alice, who starts to laugh. Give her the strawberry and she follows you. You find Alice the next morning, dead. Grab Alice. Enter the cave and leave Alice there.. Then return and take the carriage to the church and talk to the man and woman who give you some money. Go to the tavern, buy a flower and give it to the woman. When you buy her a drink, she tells you two women who know Jim Devlin and provides you with a means to escape. Leave and buy the newspaper. Go to the Cornwell estates. The ladies ask you to leave, so do. Visit the seaport and talk to the captain. You find it won’t be easy to get past him. Return to the coast, take Alice and wrap her in the newspaper. Then go to the butcher shop where Joe helps you when you give him the newspaper. Go next door and take what you find there. Then take all that you can from the counter. Return to the two ladies and talk to them again. Then leave again, and return. Drop what you found in the meat locker. Return, and Susan finally tells you where Jim is. Return to the seaport. Give the dog the two objects from the butcher’s and the man chases after the dog. Find Devlin who tries to shoot you, but you kill him. You get a sovereign. Use it in the tavern, where you get the name of a woman who may help. Return to the seaport and scan the location to find another exit. Return to the captain. And you are off sailing for America.
