INTRODUCTION

The first adventure game by Discovery takes place in Istanbul, Turkey. You play the role of a young journalist that has been invited by his old friend to investigate an artifact smuggler. The plot is quite interesting, despite of the graphics (it's not very good for a 1997 game). You have a free movement (360 degree) in almost every screen. Like the word written on the box cover : "Act Quick or you're history", you have to save your game very often in every difficult situation. Now for the game.

THE KILLER Main Goals : The story unfold at Emre's apartment. Find Emre ....

Emre's Apartment

Q : What should I do first here ?
A : Answer the telephone when it's ringing. That's your first clue here.

Q : Where is the package that Emre has mentioned in the phone ?
A :See that wooden brown trunk under the desk. Open it and you'll see an expensive jewelry box. To open it, you will need to click on the small poles that appear on the box in correct order. Inside you'll find a scanner sketch. Hmmm..... a new model perhaps.

Q : Where is the sequence to open the box ?
A :You can look for the sequence inside a folder on the desk. Open the folder, get Emre's picture, and then flip over the picture under Emre's picture. You'll see the sequence.

Q : Where is the key to unlock the secret door behind the curtain ?
A : Look at the left shelf, just behind the phone desk. Move the book with title : "Art of The Carpet". Get the golden key. Use it to unlock the door.

Q : Where can I find Emre ?
A : Don't go out yet. You need to look at several books first before the place will appear on the map. Open the dresser's drawer, just beside the secret door. Inside you'll see several pictures of the mosque (this is the place that you can find Emre). Look at the book on the right shelf, the one with title :"Turkish Teaser". Inside you'll find a piece of paper with some notes on it. This will explain about Emre's secret friend : KLIO. Look at several photos of his on the dresser, table, and the living room (important for asking some questions later on). Finally get the polaroid camera on the desk. Notice that cable jack on the desk ?! That's a battery recharger (you'll need to use it later on). Now go to the Sulaymaniye mosque.

Sulaymaniye Mosque

Q : In what part of the mosque could I find Emre ?
A : Actually, you won't find Emre here. Show his picture to that young lad. He'll ask Emre's uncle (the old guy near him) about Emre. Ask him everything about Emre. The lad will tell you about his uncle, Mehmet. Then, look at the shoe stand. Pick up the red shoe on the lower shelf. It is Emre's. Inside the shoe, you'll find a ticket from Hotel De Lordres. Note : If you want to look inside the mosque just go ahead, but you have to take off your shoes first. The mosque is not important for the task now, but it will later on.

Hotel De Lordres

Q : What should I do here ?
A : Show the ticket to the front desk man. He'll give you a big package. Examine the package. You'll find an entry pass, scanner, and a betting form (with Mehmet name on it). Try to use the scanner. Hmmmm... out of battery.

Mehmet Rug Shop

Q : Nope, Emre is not here either. What should I do ?
A : Hmmmm.... who are those guys ??? You could choose any conversation options here. Show his uncle the betting form. Hmmm... he is hiding something. Maybe you should go back again later.

Basilica Cistern

Q : The usher won't let me in. What should I do ?
A : Show him the entry pass. Take the brochure on the counter and examine it (you'll find a picture of Tear Drop column).

Q : OK, now where is Emre ? I'm tired of his hide and seek game.
A : Go along the path until you reach the end. You'll find Emre's death body lying on the path. Examine the body and ...........

Q : I couldn't avoid the sudden attack. How can I escape ?
A : Use the polaroid on the killer and run as quickly as you can while he is blinded. Akalin, the detective, will come and ask you some questions. Answer whatever choice you want. Gain as much information as you could.

KLIO (Emre's Secret Companion) Main Goals : Discover the secret of Emre's project.

Emre's Apartment

Q : I've charged the scanner, but it ask for the password when I'm trying to use it. What is the password ?
A : His uncle knows something about it, go there.

Q : I'm always killed when I try to exit the room. What should I do ?
A : Use the secret door to get out. Hmmm.... the killer again. This is more interesting.

Mehmet Rug Shop

Q : What should I do here ?
A : Choose whatever option you want, but don't forget to choose the 'Afacan' option (he'll give you a photo because of this option). Flip over the photo to see the writing behind it. This is the password for the scanner. Go somewhere and try to use the scanner. Enter : AFACAN as the password. It will lead you to a university.

Istanbul University

Q : What should I tell Sharife about Emre ?
A : To get more information, choose this sequence. From top to bottom I order the conversation option as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The sequence is :3,3,1,1,3,2,1,1,2,1. After this you'll be entering the virtual reality world : the world of KLIO (KLIO is a virtual reality system not Emre's girlfriend ...).

Q : How to solve the chess problem on the table ?
A : The answer lies in a letter on the sofa, just next to it. Read the instruction and put all the gems to build this formation. The result is a silinder with star button and a reply letter from Sulayman. They're both located on the sofa where you found the first letter.

Q : What should I do with the missing parts on one corner of this room ?
A : Exit the system and ask Sharife about the missing parts. Choose this option for more information : 2,2 (you should show the scanner again to the girl after this),3,2,2,1,1. Now you have to collect several pictures from different sites to complete KLIO (Topkapi Palace throne room simulation).

Q : Where are those missing parts ?
A : Look at several pictures below. In each picture, there's a special spot that you can click on. Click on those spots and you could scan the picture with your scanner. The left screen is taken from the Aya Sofya library (it's on the back side of the building, on the first floor). The right screen is taken from the mosque (it's on the far end corner of the main room, to the left of the main entrance). Note : I simulate those hotspots with this picture. See if you could find the right spot.

Aya Sofya	Sulaymaniye Mosque

Gordion Construction

Q : What is the passcard number to open the door ?
A : Look around the street. Hmmm.... what a coinsidence that this construction office is located just at the back side of Nargile Bar. Maybe they know something. Go there and look inside. Remember the notebook you've found inside Mehmet rug store. This is the right time to check what is the writing again. Notice the connection between today and lemon. There is a lemon sitting on the counter. Examine its color. Now look at the number on the board, just next to it. Look only at the green color number (the color of the lemon). That is your passcard number (7049).

Q : What should I find here ?
A : There are important papers inside the ledger on the desk. Take it out and remember, DO IT QUICKLY. When you're outside the office again, look at the paper, notice Eskander signature. Hmmm.... what he's doing with this contract.

Q : Where could I find Eskander ?
A : Find him at the Hotel De Lordres. Show him the paper. He's hiding something. He accused Sharife on Emre's death. Go back to Archaelogical museum and notice that the police is there now. No, don't go in yet. They'll arrest you no matter what you said. Avoid them for a while.

Q : Where could I find Sharife ?
A : Eskander told you that you might find her at the tower. Go there and show her the paper. She's innocent. That rotten Eskander. Go with her to the university and enter Aya Sofya Simulation to get more proof.

Aya Sofya Simulation

Q : What should I do here ?
A : Collect several items first. They are helmet (on the bench by the entrance), vase (to the left inside the main chamber), chalice and orb (on the altar, in the apse), divider (on the second floor, just by the stair), and the vase of rose (on the ramp on the second floor).

Q : What should I do with those items ?
A : First, put the chalice, helmet, and divider (must be in the right order) on their place on the Nave Omphalos near the Apse. Then go to the second level and put the vase on the Empress omphalos. Return again to the Nave omphalos and put the Orb. Then take the diadem.

Q : Where should I go, I'm trapped here ?
A : Escape through the drain into the Hard Drive simulation.

Hard Drive Simulation

Q : How can I transfer the proof to Sharife ?
A : Go to the central controller of the harddrive. Follow this route: enter the path, southwest, northeast, northwest, southwest, southeast, and northeast. Click on the panel. Click on Knot, click on Transaction, take the copy of the transaction to the Hub (that's the pipe on the right), click on the computer lab, and finally click on the central hub again. Watch the ending sequence.

Author's Final Words : Eskander is behind the smuggler operations. The police captured the guy while doing his gala speech in front of hundreds of audiences. Although this game is not as sophisticated as Black Dahlia or Overseer, the story is quite intriguing and all of the historical stories are quite interesting. You could learn a lot about the historical era in Europe.
