Kellie Stanford is a movie studio stylist that plans to make a career move and become a cinematographer. One day she receives a distressing phone call from her friend Mike, warning about a plot against her life. As she gets ready to leave, Kellie sees from the window of her apartment the arrival of two sinister thugs. She flees in disguise while being persecuted by the men, and starts to investigate several locations around the city to uncover the whole affair. This is an adventure game with cartoon graphics, simple puzzles and hidden object scenes made for the casual market. Most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the items displayed at the bottom of the screen. Some objects are hidden from view, and the player has to interact with some portion of the scenery, like opening a cupboard or box, to reveal and collect them. On the main adventure sections, the objects are stored to be used later when solving puzzles. Like in most point-and-click adventures, the items have to be dragged and dropped on logical places to perform an action or complete a task. Twenty unique mini-games appear at the end of each section, where the player must guide a disguised Kelly through the labyrinth-like rooms of her darkened apartment, to escape before the arrival of the criminals; create the correct key to open a hatch; pick the ace of hearts from a shuffled trio of cards; play against the computer in a game of Reversi/Othello and complete other similar challenges. The light bulbs surrounding the portrait of Kellie are hints, with one bulb removed to show the position of one of the required items, and two bulbs taken away to skip a mini-game. The bulbs can be restored by playing one of the optional hidden object scenes, that can be accessed through the magnifier near Kellie's face. |
