A murder is on the loose in the peaceful farming village of Keggly. Father Paddy Murphy (that's you) walks out of his church, into the graveyard, and finds his gravedigger stabbed to death, lying in a pool of blood. A trial of bloodstained footprints lead off, down the lane.

Father Paddy's quest is to find the murderer, and secure him before carting him away. A tour of the neighbouring countryside uncovers the maniac's tracks. Ripped clothing is found in the woods, and an empty bottle in the disused mine. More startling is a grim discovery in a cottage in the village.

This is a text only adventure, and the text is of a rather strange design, and not ever-so-easily legible. It has fairly lengthy location descriptions that convey the rustic atmosphere well, besides building up the tension in the game.

Input is by verb-noun, and, unusually in an adventure, there is a PAUSE command. This implies that the game is played in real time.

This is an interesting game, rather like exploring a detective story for yourself, and more adventures of the Rev. Murphy are promised.
