Psycho Killer
Description official description
One of the plethora of multimedia video-streaming games that came out upon the advent of the CD-drive, Psycho Killer casts the player into the role of an unnamed male protagonist, who was one day driving through the countryside on a cold autumn day, and suddenly saw an escaped killer chasing a woman. Now the hero must figure out a way to find the killer and stop him.
Psycho Killer is an adventure game with the interaction restricted to "jumping" from picture to picture, occasionally clicking on the screen in order to find objects that are possible to interact with. As in other interactive movies, some parts presented as video sequences, during which the player has to make the correct action quickly in order to succeed.

The Good
There is some amusingly awful acting.
The Bad
It's pure chance with every wrong move sending you back to the start. pick the right options and you beat it in 9 minutes, 5 minutes of which is waiting for the next screen to load.
The Bottom Line
A curio today, but a real fleecing of the early adopters of CD-Rom games.
