Download Suspect - DOS game

Suspect is an early interactive mystery from Infocom, built around the idea that the player should solve a murder rather than simply watch somebody else do it. Released in 1984, it places you in a mansion filled with suspects, clues, conversations, and the uncomfortable knowledge that one of the people around you is probably responsible. The text-based format leaves plenty of room for imagination, and the game expects careful observation rather than quick fingers. Talking to characters, examining the environment, and keeping track of suspicious details are all part of the investigation. It has the slightly theatrical atmosphere of a classic detective novel, complete with social gatherings where everyone seems to have a motive. Suspect rewards patience and logical thinking, although it also belongs to the era when getting stuck could mean staring at the screen for an embarrassingly long time. Fortunately, detectives are supposed to take notes.
