## Description

Miss Black joins the New York Police Department in 1974, and is immediately
assigned with the investigation of a series of mysterious murders. Together
with Deckard, a veteran cop that is on the verge of retirement, she starts to
piece together information and clues found on the crime scenes. A pattern
quickly emerges, indicating the work of a serial killer on the loose.

_Profiler: The Hopscotch Killer_ is a hidden object game using police
procedure as a theme. Most of the time, the objective is to collect all the
items listed at the bottom of the screen, on crime scenes filled with assorted
objects. In some locations, the goal is to click on several instances of the
same item, or find the subtle differences between two similar photographs. At
the end of each scene, the player has to choose one of the answers to a
question related to the crime. If the answer is incorrect, the scene has to be
replayed from the beginning.

A cryptography puzzle appears occasionally, where a message from the murderer
has to be decoded by assigning alphabet letters to a series of symbols. The
screen can be zoomed with the camera button at the left side, to make the
search for small objects easier. The hint button is a clock face at the
bottom-left, that highlights the position of one of the required items but
takes some time to recharge after use. The language can be set to English,
French, Spanish, German or Italian.
