The game starts with a raven or a crow landing on the windowsill of a house. Inside, a murder is being committed, the victim is a female dancer (or prostitute). The only witness is the bird. We play the role of a detective or some other sort of investigator. I remember that there was a boy on the street, selling newspaper. Once we get control, we can click on the bird and a short scripted event happens, the camera zooms in on the eye of the bird and a number of grotesque images are shown, each for the fraction of a second and after that the protagonist makes a remark.
