In terms of content and appearance, the story is set in the 1960s. Private investigator Alice has to solve a murder case in the theater. She is ambitious, successful and good-looking. At her side is her reliable and down-to-earth assistant Ben, a veteran from the Korean War . The story develops a romantic side through the charming thief Pete, with whom Alice enters into a love affair. In addition to the criminal case, mystery elements also play a role in the further course , supernatural forces seem to be at work. Action scenes alternate with rather calm investigation scenes.
The story was created by the freelancers Simone Veenstra and Philipp Zimmermann, who linked the usual ways of seeing from the series and film conception with game-specific requirements, both dramatically and structurally. The individual episodes of Agent Alice are completed, but a longer storyline has been woven horizontally into the episodes. This is the puzzle about Alice's missing parents, which was divided into 13 episodes per season and features cliffhangers at the end of each season.
Gameplay
At the beginning of the game there is a hidden object. At the top of the display there is a list of objects that can be found in this picture. When an item is found, touching the display adds the item to the list of found items. To end the scene, all objects must be found. The faster the speed of finding, the higher the scores that can be achieved. A maximum of 8 stars can be earned in each scene, the level of difficulty increases. The stars earned mean that more clues can be found in a scene and larger parts of the story are revealed. Each episode contains a mixture of hidden object and puzzles. So z. B. Letters and cards are assembled from individual set pieces so that the message they contain can be read. A new scene is released every week.
Business model
