Synopsis

...The day after, the local paper remains untouched on his doorstep. A week later friends, then neighbours, and then the police search for him in vain. After a fortnight, his wife comes to you, begging for help.

Apparently he told some cock-and-bull story about his Grandfather's will and set off, determined to hunt around a museum in the middle of the night, with only a broken old flashlight he'd found in the attic. Of course, you know that makes no sense. Old Edgar Mulldoon isn't dead; you met him last Wednesday.

Which all leaves you, with a dodgy torch of your own, set to find the idiot. It's no fun being a gumshoe.

This sequel to the monumental Mulldoon Legacy is small when compared to that game but it is still a very good puzzlefest in its own right. There is an all pervading air of neglect and evil as familiar faces and landmarks from the first game return but in various states of disrepair and decay. Broken mannequins, faulty machinery, a sculpture held up by scaffolding and deformed corpses preserved in bell-jars create an atmosphere that is both sinister and melancholy. And why is one of the jars empty? The somewhat light-hearted feel of the first game has gone. Sam Spade had iced bullets to contemplate but this gumshoe (investigating the disappearance of the protagonist from the first game) has to contend with iced rivers and strange problems that seem to defy the laws of chemistry and physics.

If this game were a Beatles song it would be Revolution 9; it is not advisable to play this in a darkened room either.
