Play In The Dead Of Night Online

In the Dead of Night is a first-person detective and mystery adventure game released in 1995 for MS-DOS. Developed and published by Trecision S.p.A., it is a point and click title that supports both English and Italian languages. Players assume the role of a private investigator within a confined, snowbound setting.

The player controls Tom Scool, a private investigator initially hired to steal a precious gem from a famous actress by impersonating a writer. When the actress is murdered and a snowstorm isolates the chalet, the objective shifts to solving the homicide before the police arrive. Progression is structured around exploring the environment in first-person, conversing with the other guests, and collecting various items for use in inventory-based puzzles. Key gameplay systems involve dialogue, where each character possesses distinct traits and potential weaknesses to uncover, and environmental interaction, where combining and using found objects is essential to advance the narrative and uncover clues.
