Story
Mechanics

X-Files: The Game is an extensive adventure game, based on a license of a popular TV series of the same title. The whole project was made as an interactive film - real actors were employed to produce the full version (David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, etc.), and the script is the responsibility of the creator of the original - Chris Carter.

Story

Players take on the role of Craig Willmore, a FBI agent who investigates the mysterious disappearance of the duo dealing with the case of "X" files. (means Fox Mulder and Dany Scully). Their hearing disappeared when, as a result of an investigation, they broke into one of the warehouses in Seatlle. Three gangsters set a trap on them, and after a fierce shooting, in which Scully was wounded, the light of unknown origin killed the would-be tormentors. The director of FBI Skinner considers it a priority to find Fox and Scully.

Mechanics

In X-Files: The Game, the developers from Fox Interactive showed the FBI agent's actions from the lining - we collect evidence, we talk to witnesses of the event (extensive dialogue options - the program sometimes asks us for an emotional response to our interlocutor, which affects later events and partially modifies the scenario), while in the office computer Craig Willmore acquaints with other details (e.g. identifies fingerprints found). In total, during the game we visit several different locations (ships, hotels, warehouses, FBI office). In case of problems with discovering new threads, we can support ourselves with a prepared help system.
