9 Clues 2 is a hidden object game much like its predecessor, with a few
logic and inventory puzzles to add variety, and some investigation scenes
where you must pinpoint “out of place” objects in a crime scene in order to
reconstitute the actions which took place in that room. This time, the player
may replace hidden object scenes with Mahjong puzzles if he/she wishes, and
hidden collectibles are available for extra achievements.

Regarding the plot: “It’s coming! It knows! Please…. help us…” That’s the
phone call that you, a Private Investigator in 1950s America, receive. Your
partner Owen traces it to Mnemosyne Asylum, so you both depart to the isolated
island where that institution is located. Upon arriving, you are met by doctor
in charge Klaudia Krauz, who finds unlikely that anything distressing might be
happening there; but her idea is quickly dispelled when a body flies out of a
window… Was it suicide? For what reason? Maybe the staff or the patients are
willing to reveal the dark secrets of Mnemosyne Asylum?
