Mystery of the Mummy

_Mystery of the Mummy_ is set in the Hamburg of 1912 and the player takes the
role of a detective. Along with his companion Wilhelm he has to solve the case
which evolves around a mummy and its alleged curse. After one week his
superior will show up and only if the player can present his case(answering
the questions correctly and having evidence) the game is won.

This game is an icon-driven adventure game which evolves around actual
detective work: most of the time is spent analyzing clues and talking to
people. There are no traditional puzzles to be found besides figuring out
which of the 186 locations to visit next (there is no linear progression and
the player is free to choose the next steps) and how to convince people to
help. However, the game includes various chores from real life, e.g. the need
to sleep and eat or to fill up on gas. There is no special skill needed for
those tasks, but they eat up money and time.

There are also two action-based mini games which involve driving and
processing evidence in the lab.
