Synopsis

Plot

FEBRUARY 1938, LOS ANGELES. FDR's New Deal is finally rolling. Hitler's rolling, too; this time through Austria. But as Chief Detective for a quiet burgh on the outskirts of L.A., you've got other fish to fry.

One gilt-edged society dame is dead. And now it looks like some two-bit grifter is putting the screws to her multi-millionaire old man. Then you step in and the shakedown turns ugly. You're left with a stiff and a race against the clock to nail your suspect... unless you get nailed first!

Nobody said a sordid familiy affair like this was going to be a cinch. Everyone from the knock-out heiress to the poker-faced butler may end up in the slammer before it's over. Ahead of you is a Gordian knot of motives and alibis. And the only testimony you can trust is that of your own eyes -- because you are The WITNESS...

Clever, but ultimately suprisingly short for an Infocom game.

Major letdown. Much too brief.

Maybe one of the weaker Infocom games, though well constructed and researched, with lots of little details for a consistent 1930s atmosphere. Sadly, it is a much simpler affair than Deadline, and probably off-balance when compared to other Infocom adventures.
