Hugo 2: Whodunit?

About this game

The second of the trilogy of "Hugo" graphical adventure games, this game keeps the same style as the first but takes a murder mystery theme rather than a horror theme. You still play as the intrepid Hugo who, now along with Penelope whom he rescued in the first game, just want to rest on their vacation. However doings are afoot, and youll soon be drawn into the action.Hugo 2: Whodunit? is an adventure game released in 1993 for DOS computers, developed by David R. Babcock and published by Titus Interactive. It is the second entry in the Hugo series, following the original Hugo’s House of Horrors. This game is a point-and-click mystery adventure with a strong focus on puzzle-solving and exploration, set in a more humorous and lighthearted tone than many other mystery-themed games. Game Overview: Story and Setting: The game is set in a mysterious mansion, where Hugo—the main character—is invited to a party at the home of a wealthy, eccentric inventor. During the party, the host is murdered, and its up to Hugo to solve the crime and identify the killer. The mansion is full of strange rooms, secret passages, and oddball characters. As Hugo, you must navigate the mansion, interact with its quirky inhabitants, and gather clues to uncover the identity of the murderer. Gameplay: Point-and-Click Adventure: Like many classic adventure games from the early 90s, Hugo 2: Whodunit? uses a point-and-click interface, where players interact with the game world by clicking on objects and characters to examine them, talk to them, or solve puzzles. Players explore various rooms of the mansion, collecting items, talking to suspects, and solving puzzles to uncover hidden clues. The game relies heavily on logic, exploration, and deduction. Puzzles and Clue Gathering: Solving puzzles is central to the gameplay. As you interact with the mansion’s various rooms and objects, you’ll need to solve puzzles that might involve logic, memory, or even finding hidden items. Every character in the mansion could be a potential suspect, and players must use their investigative skills to piece together the clues and determine who committed the murder. Character Interactions: There are various characters in the mansion, each with distinct personalities. These characters are integral to both the plot and the puzzle-solving aspects of the game. You’ll need to talk to each one to gather information, but not everyone is as helpful as they seem. Some characters may lie, hide information, or give misleading clues, so it’s up to the player to determine who can be trusted and who might be hiding something.
