I am soon about to begin playing Maupiti Island, which belongs to a genre of detective adventure games. This genre has some distinct characteristics, which separate it from other adventure games, and while we have seen some of them appear in games like Colonel’s Bequest, I thought I should still take a look of the first proper detective adventure, Infocom’s Deadline. But before that, I wanted to further point out the original literary source of many cliches in detective adventures. No, I am not talking about Sherlock Holmes, but Edgar Allan Poe and his detective stories.
