Review
In Betrapped you will be representing Inspector Parker, a Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard. The story tells that Lord North Vandernot of Ravencourt Castle had died recently. His heress was a young American named May Vandernot. And, according to the family solicitor, someone was trying to kill her. Before Parker could get specifics from the man, the phone had gone dead. And so he had taken the next train up from London.
The game offers two modes to be played: Adventure Mode and Puzzle Mode. It’s recommended for beginners to play in Adventure mode since its 10 first levels are a play tutorial.
The objective of the game is to investigate who is the murderer of the case. To do this, you will have to investigate every room in the castle looking for clues. What makes this investigation even harder than a regular one is that there are traps set up everywhere in the castle and you have to deactivate them before getting trapped. From there comes the game’s name.
So how does it work the game? Picture a room as a game board. Every tile is a cell under of which could be a trap. You have to walk all around the room without stepping on a trap. The tiles go taking a color as you walk near them. According the color they take, the number of traps in adjacent tiles. For example, if the tile is green it indicates that there’s one trap in some of the eight adjacent tiles. When you figure out where might be a trap you can deactivate it by right-clicking with the mouse.
When you first enter the game, you’ll see the welcome screen with the following options:
- Change player: the first time there’s no existing player. After you create one or more, they’ll be saved. When you enter into this submenu, you’ll be asked for a name as a new player. It’s possible to have a list of different players and record their performance. This way, you can play home tournaments with family and friends.
