Youhave five days to solve the crime before the Bureau willstep into the case. Your only leads are those around wherethe woman was last seen and the guests of a dinner partythe previous evening. This is the second (I believe) of the Santa Femysteries, the first was the ElkMoon Murder. If you have played that game, this onewill be very familiar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game uses a set of stills for the various gamelocations with video interviews of the suspects and audiofiles for your forensic and alibi reports. The videointerviews were well designed and the actors were quitegood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGame play and hints\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the upper left corner of your screen, there is acalendar which displays 5 days, with X's over any daysyou have finished. In the upper right corner, you will finda sundial showing how many hours you have left in the day.The time any task will take to accomplish will appear inthe middle of the sundial. The lower right hand cornershows your Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The PDA iswhere you get messages from the office (including alibichecks, forensic reports and calls from your chief), andalso holds all of your notes from the case thus far. Thisallows you to easily review notes after an interview.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you are not interviewing a suspect or examining your PDA, you may right click to access the save game (andothers) function. Save often and remember that each timeyou interview a suspect can open new avenues of enquiry anduse your precious time. So do be sure to save differentgames so you have less backtracking to do if you discoveryour line of enquiry is going nowhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTime counts in this game. Questioning suspects,verifying alibis and asking for forensic reports will allcost you time. You only have 5 working days in which tosolve the case or the feds will be called in. One hint, atthe end of the day, you will be able to finish interviewingthe suspect or informant before the game progresses to thenext day. Which means that you should go ahead andinterview one person when you only have an hour or less tospare. It will allow you to get a little bit more than youreight hours in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemember, you have to build a case against yoursuspects. This means that you will need the evidence, youwill need to know if someone has a false alibi, and youwill need to sort out which accusations were red herrings.This was true about the first game and true about this gameas well. From Activision this game is very much in the same veinas the Elk Moon Murder. It is adetective story, there is no inventory. This has its plusside, but it does mean that the game is less complex thensome. If you can find the game, you should find someentertainment from it for a day or two.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DOS\/Windows (via DOSBox)\/Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Activision","offers":[{"title":"Used In CD Case","offer_id":31983077654660,"sku":"7127","price":4.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":31983077687428,"sku":"14001","price":4.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/KAHE4487KAKAHE4487KA.jpg?v=1597250721","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/santa-fe-mysteries-sacred-ground","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
