Cruise for a Corpse

About

Cruise for a Corpse is a point-and-click adventure where you play Inspector Raoul Dusentier chasing clues aboard a luxury Mediterranean cruise. The game unfolds as a murder mystery with pre-rendered video sequences and clickable hotspots to navigate. Your goal is to piece together who killed the event’s host during the voyage. The DOS-era design leans into cinematic cutscenes and dialogue choices to drive the investigation forward. The game stands out for its early use of full-motion video and a tightly written script that blends humor with noir-style detective work. Though dated by modern standards, its puzzle design and branching narratives earned it a cult following among retro adventure fans. Originally released in 1991, it remains a niche example of early interactive fiction experiments.
