Killed Until Dead

Killed Until Dead is a video game in the adventure genre developed by Artech and published by Accolade, Inc. originally released in 1986. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Apple II.

Killed Until Dead is a sophisticated mystery game with a tendency towards humor. The player has to solve all aspects of a murder case before it happens. The world's top five mystery writers have gathered in a hotel and one of them will kill another unless Hercules Holmes can solve the case.

The game is a cross between the board game Clue and paper logic puzzles in which the player must eliminate clues in sequence. To solve the next murder, you will need to search the suspects' rooms and confront them with evidence and set up the hotel's security cameras to record secret meetings.

By questioning the suspects about what they know about certain people, rooms and objects, they will be able to reveal combinations that they know will not be involved in the murder: perhaps if it's the gun, the killer won't be Lord Peter Flimsey, for example. However, there is a catch. If you accuse the wrong suspect, it could be him who is Killed Until Dead - they don't take kindly to false accusations.
