DESCRIPTION

Players join a grisly investigation, both in-game and online, to track down a serial killer before he murders again. Evidence: The Last Ritual continues the gruesome tale begun in the developer's Missing: Since January, adding real-world research and correspondence to the gameplay mix. As in the earlier game, Evidence players are presented with a number of images, text snippets, and video files related to the crime spree of a killer known as "The Phoenix." Although this evidence may seem unrelated or even irrelevant, by pulling it apart and putting it back together again — in the mindset of a soulless killer — players may be able to find the connections that solve the case. In addition to the material included on the game disc, players must also follow links to websites, both "real" and created for the game, to find missing pieces of evidence and complete sophisticated, contextual puzzles. By supplying a working e-mail address, players can also receive additional clues in the form of messages from characters in the game. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
