🌍️ Wikipedia:

Under a Killing Moon is a 1994 point-and-click adventure interactive movie video game. It is the third installment in the Tex Murphy series of adventure games produced by Access Software. In it, the detective Tex Murphy finds himself unwittingly involved in the affairs of a dangerous cult.

Gameplay

Under a Killing Moon dramatically shifted the gameplay of its predecessors in the series by fully utilizing interactive 3D environments. The player controls the protagonist Tex from a first person perspective. The virtual world allows full freedom of movement, and as such allows the player to look for clues in every nook and cranny. It was also the first Tex Murphy game to stray from the traditional adventure game dialogue format of providing options that showed exactly what the player's character would say. Instead, descriptions of the dialogue choices were given, providing some mystery to what Tex would say.

Plot

Under a Killing Moon takes place in post-World War III San Francisco in December 2042. After the devastating events of the nuclear war, many major cities have been rebuilt (as is the case with New San Francisco), though certain areas still remain as they were before the war (as in Old San Francisco). The war also left another mark on the world: the formation of two classes of citizens. Specifically, some people have developed a natural resistance against radioactivity, and thus are normal or "Norms"—everybody else are Mutants in some form. Tensions between the two groups have risen dramatically and Norms and Mutants usually do not get along. The Mutants are usually forced to live in the run-down areas of cities such as Old San Francisco. Tex Murphy lives on Chandler Avenue in Old San Francisco. All his friends are Mutants, though he is a Norm.

In Under a Killing Moon, Tex Murphy, a private investigator, has hit rock bottom. Recently divorced from his wife Sylvia, out of work, low on cash, and living in a rundown part of Old San Francisco, Tex realizes that he has to get his act together. Tex sets out to hunt for work. He finds it quickly once he discovers that the pawnshop across the street from his apartment has been robbed. Tex quickly solves the case, and feels his luck has begun to change. Then a mysterious woman calling herself Countess Renier, having heard good things about Tex, hires him to find her missing statuette. Everything seems great at first and the Countess is promising to pay Tex more money than he has seen in his life. However, everything quickly goes downhill when Tex finds out about doomsday plot by a deadly cult calling themselves the Brotherhood of Purity.

🌍️ Wikipedia :

Under a Killing Moon (souvent abrégé UAKM3) est un jeu vidéo d'aventure sorti en 1994 et réalisé par Access Software. Il s'agit du troisième jeu mettant en scène le détective Tex Murphy. Dans cette aventure, Tex se bat contre une secte maléfique qui essaye de détruire la planète.

Under a Killing Moon est un des premiers jeux intégrant des acteurs en incrustation vidéo dans un univers virtuel en 3D, ce qui en fait un film interactif en full motion video. Le jeu prenait toute son ampleur si on dirigeait son flot MIDI vers un expandeur ou un synthétiseur de bonne qualité, ce qui était proposé dans ses options.

La série s'est poursuivie avec un gameplay semblable à celui d’Under a Killing Moon dans The Pandora Directive (1996) et Tex Murphy: Overseer (1998) ; The Pandora Directive a été entièrement traduit en français (texte et voix), tandis que Overseer et Under a Killing Moon n'existent qu'en anglais sous-titré français.
