Miss Kitty and her date with Death

Ok so feeling really rough Saturday morning. Tongue felt like sandpaper and tasted like the alcohol-sodden carpet lining the Catford Wetherspoons.

Despite that Miss Kitty decided to spend the entire morning playing In Memoriam.

The game centres around the disappearance of journalist Jack Lorski, and his young female companion, Karen Gijman, in Europe while investigating a series of bizarre murders. Some weeks later, the SKL agency whom they work for receives a package containing a CD-ROM and on this CD-ROM is a mixture of disturbing footage and reports made by Jack. But there is also some other data including puzzles and messages, created by some weird ass referring to themselves only as "The Phoenix."

Now, although this game is played using a CD-Rom, to make progress in the adventure Miss Kitty must connect to the Internet to find information that's essential to accomplish some of the missions.

She is then rewarded by the Phoenix by receiving snippets of film that he stole from Jack. Using those extracts Miss Kitty must reconstruct the events that led Jack and Karen into the clutches of the serial killer and save them from death.

The reason for MK buying this game was that she had read about its Alternate Reality-style gameplay, in which the player receives e-mails from other in-game characters, including the Phoenix himself!

And when Miss Kitty receives her first email from the Phoenix titled "I'm Watching You". It reads:

I'm there, right near you. I'm watching you. You could almost feel my breath on your skin… See you later, my Little Friend.

Hmmm…Miss Kitty feels very intrigued by this invitation.

Phoenix if you're out there, fancy a drink?
