One-eyed
Jack normally dabbled in a bit of smuggling but this time he has gone too far as
the kidnapping of an innocent little girl brings Edward Carnby 'the supernatural
detective' onto the scene. Now Edward received a phone call from his close
friend Ted Striker, who informs him that little Grace Saunders has been
kidnapped and imprisoned in Jacks mansion.
You must guide Ed around the
labyrinthine mansion armed only with his trusty revolver, although he can also
use his bare knuckles or indeed any of the weapons that he finds lying around
the grounds or the house. Edward is attacked around virtually every corner
therefore you must learn to judge the line of fire very quickly or you will
waste most of your ammo shooting at thin air. He will begin with fifty health
points and each hit he takes will reduce that total.
The game requires
a great deal of thinking as you will face many tasks on your journey. How will
you open a door that is locked from the other side. Remember that piece of
paper that you collected earlier, well slide it under the door and then push the
pipe cleaner through the keyhole to knock the key onto the paper. Pull the
paper back under the door, Voila. Get the idea. The game is packed with such
puzzles and with a little thought you should get through it in time.
The
game is shrouded in atmosphere with suspense by the bucket full, showing some
nice lighting effects and uses a helpful camera angle. The controls are a
little sluggish which make the fighting scenes a little boring. During the game
you will find that Edward will get himself into a pickle therefore you will
assume the control of young grace who must rescue our Ed for the game to
proceed.
