Advantages: simple to play and very addictive

Disadvantages: could do with a few more puzzles

A director's cut for the original I had on the PS1. This is a point and click mystery / adventure game where you have to spot and pick up clues, talk to various characters and use your brain to untangle the mystery behind the story.
The story starts in France and you play the part of Nico Collard and Goerge Stobbart, who you switch between at the beginning. Both characters witness separate murders and believe it's one murderer, a person who poses as a mime and then a clown and then various other costumed characters. You mainly play as George on the quest to find the costumed killer before he kills again. The quest takes you to many places, some even overseas such as Ireland and what turns out to be just a vacation in France for George, turns out to be so much more as you delve into an ancient myth- the Shadow of the Templars.

A great point and click game, could do with a few more puzzles though.

Summary: excellent game, easy to get stuck into
