The Witness
The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There's no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas. PASSWORD: MacGames-Download.com.

Description of The Witness
The year, 1938. The place, Los Angeles. A wealthy but paranoid man has asked you, a police detective, for protection. But despite everything you do, the man is killed. Can you find who killed Freeman Linder?
The Witness was Infocom's second detective adventure after Deadline, and anyone who is frustrated with that game's extremely high difficulty level will be happy to know that The Witness is much easier and more straightforward. Unfortunately, it is also less fun to play. The good news is that the parser is much better than 1982's Deadline. The game now understands a wider range of synonyms. But there isn't much you would need to blame the parson on: the game is not hard at all, as the plot develops quickly and it is not difficult to just 'stumble' upon the murderer. That is not to say you wouldn't need to do any investigative work in the game; the clues are just more obvious and there are fewer 'trigger events' that you must witness to finish the game.
The plot in The Witness is well thought-out, but the writing is not as atmospheric as Deadline, although the game still does a good job of evoking the feel of the 1930's. Fortunately, the NPCs in the game are very well designed, each imbued with a wide range of actions and reactions that will entertain you long after you have already solved the game.
Overall, The Witness is another solid Infocom game. It is much easier than Deadline, making it a a good intermediate-level game somewhere between Moonmist and Deadline. It may not be Infocom's best work, but it is still better than most other mystery games in Infocom's canon, including Suspect and Moonmist. Recommended!

Best free games on a mac. This is also improving but not entirely gone yet. However, the Mac performance of the game has improved a lot and the game is now playable on more machines.Any bugs you should be aware of? Not exactly a bug, but be aware that performance is terrible as soon as your character jumps from the bus.
How do I run this in DosBox? It's only a .dat file.
