In Memoriam

[jetxl]

I bought "in memoriam" last week. An adventure game. A WEIRD adventure game I may add.
This isn't a conventional point-n-click-the-charachter-through-the-story kind of game, but more of a research game.

The story is like this: A reporter and his girlfriend have been kidnapped while investigating a big mistery. Not long after that, someone calling himself the phoenix shows some disturbing videos of the woman. He sends a encrypred cd that has to be decrypted to solve his great work.
Sounds vague?~well I don't want to give any hints.

The game exists out of creapy shockwave-minigames. They contain a small clue or need a password to go further. To get a password you have to use the internet. Exaple: you got 3 photo's of an island, the password is the name of this island in greece. is took me 2 days to find it out.
Another cool thing is your mail. From time to time you get mail from people that want to help you. They are not real of course, but still I reply to thank them. The same thing with fake websites. I found a webpage about an institut with the same group photo as in the game, therefor it must be fake, but the information is so real...
And thats what it's all about, making reallity and fiction cross so you can't see the difrence no more.

If I had to discribe this game as short as posible, I would say it's se7en as a game.

This is awesome, my friend has this and we've been playing... the idea is great and puzzles sure are challenging.

Sounds fairly similar to Majestic.  I'm still very damned sorry I couldn't afford the subscription fees at the time, the trial period was an absolute blast.
