Play Innocent Until Caught Online

Innocent Until Caught is a science fiction graphic adventure game released in 1993 for MS-DOS. Developed by Divide By Zero, Ltd. and published by Psygnosis Limited, it is a third-person point-and-click game that incorporates puzzle elements within a futuristic setting.

The player controls Jack T. Ladd, a thief stranded on the desolate planet Tayte. With twenty-eight days to pay a substantial tax debt to an interstellar agency or face severe consequences, the primary objective is to explore environments and solve puzzles to acquire the necessary funds. Progression is structured around navigating various locations via a standard point-and-click interface, where interacting with characters and collecting items is essential for advancing the story.

The game features several distinct interface systems. A mini-window in the corner of the screen serves dual purposes, functioning as a local area map that displays exits and as a magnifying glass for examining small details. Inventory management is handled through a container where objects can be freely placed and stacked. The narrative is presented through traditional gameplay and is occasionally advanced with pre-rendered cinematic sequences, a technical feature noted in adventure games of its period.
