Murdered, to be exact.
Too convenient that a policeman is aboard -- Dusentier sets out to search for suspects.
He doesn't need to search long.
Why is it that none of the family members seem awfully sad about the demise of the old man? Is the mysterious Father Fabiani really as pious as he says? In the tradition of Agatha Christie, each and every person on board has a motive for the murder.
Cruise for a Corpse is a graphic adventure game with a point-and-click interface.
You advance in the plot not so much by solving common object-based puzzles, but by talking to the right persons about the right subjects at the right time, thus collecting clues.
You will also find pieces of evidence scattered throughout the ship.
However, most items suddenly appear in cupboards and drawers that were previously empty.
The clock advances in ten-minute-steps whenever you discover an interesting clue, which conveniently informs you of your progress.
The protagonists move around the ship; so whenever time passes, different persons to talk to might appear at certain locations.
With this game, Delphine Software's Cinematique interface reached "Evolution 2".
Instead of containing a fixed number of verbs, the command menu is now context-sensitive.
The mouse cursor will change its appearance when moved over an interesting object; a left-click brings up a set of appropriate verbs.
For example, a cupboard may be opened and searched, whereas a key can be picked up and turned.
A right-click accesses the inventory.
The game features polygonal characters.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
