Black Dahlia
One of the last games in the era of FMV adventure games, and eight CDs means you're in for a very long ride. Thankfully, the FMVs are excellent, with Hollywood actors and multi-million dollar production values, good pacing and editing, and many authentic looking, lived-in locations. What starts as an enticing 40's true-crime whodunnit about murder and occultism takes many unexpected twists and turns, often delving into horror. Puzzles are numerous, varied, and manage to well fit the setting and theme, but they are seriously hard! Solutions are logical, but very few experienced adventure gamers will solve these cryptograms, tessellations, deductions, and interrogations without outside help. Take-Two's final game to be developed in house.
