Cruise for a Corpse (1991)
Cruise for a Corpse is a 1991 point-and-click video game made by Delphine Software.
Inspector Raoul Dusentier boards a private yacht for a leisurely cruise off the Mediterranean coast, and within hours he is investigating a murder. Cruise for a Corpse is a leisurely paced, genteel whodunit built on Delphine's Cinematique engine: you point, click, and talk your way through a closed-circle cast of suspects, piecing together alibis and motives before the sun sets on the Aegean. The atmosphere leans closer to a Poirot drawing room than an action game, rewarding patience and attention to detail over quick reflexes.
