Game overview
Description
You have twelve hours to solve a murder — and a mansion full of suspects who aren’t talking.
In Deadline, Infocom’s first interactive mystery, you play a police detective investigating the suspicious death of wealthy industrialist Marshall Robner. Everyone insists it was suicide — but the clues say otherwise.
Search the house, question suspects, and watch the clock. Every minute matters in this dynamic investigation where people move, lie, and act on their own schedule. It’s not just about what you find — it’s about when you find it.
