INFOCOM have released a new game called Witness,
based on a detective mystery.

The Witness package contains a detective's dossier
of clues, the National Detective Gazette, a suicide note,
telegram, a matchbox and that day's news events.

The game is set in February 1938 and concerns death of a
society matron. A con-man is trying to frame the dead
woman's husband.

You, as the witness, work from a clue-ridden police file
and against a 12-hour time limit to solve the suspicious
society murder.

Clues hint that it is a sordid family affair that may lead
everyone from the heiress to the butler in prison.

It's up to the player to sort through the clues, motives and
alibis in order to solve the mystery.

The Witness is available for £33.95 for the Apple and IBM + PC.
