It's April 2043 and you—as Tex Murphy, the last of the old-style gumshoes—find yourself racing against time in the most dangerous game of your life. What is the truth behind the rumored UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico? Why did the military suddenly shut down and seal off the Roswell complex? And why the frequent references to the lost Mayan civilization?
⭐ Unrestricted movement. The unique "Virtual World" engine allows you to slip under desks, rifle through drawers, and see the flies tanning in the light fixtures. Without the restrictions of rendered paths, you can explore Tex's three-dimensional world with full freedom of movement.
⭐ The most replayability of any interactive movie to date. Follow one of three narrative paths leading to seven different endings. Are you a hard-nosed but honest P.I. struggling to overcome the forces of greed and corruption? Or a cynical opportunist who may have to "sell out" principles top score the big payoff? Perhaps you'll fall somewhere in between. Your choices could reveal more about yourself than you'd really like to know.
⭐ Two levels of play. The first level offers a complete on-line hint system to help you through the tougher puzzles. The second level—for expert gamers—has no hints available but rewards players with higher bonus points, extra puzzles and locations.
⭐ Hollywood! Enjoy the difference Hollywood cinematography, acting, editing, stuntwork, music, and direction make as the world of Tex Murphy becomes amazingly real. Cinematography and direction by Hollywood editor/director Adrian Carr (Quigley Down Under, Man From Snowy River, Power Rangers). Cast stars Barry Corbin (Northern Exposure, War Games), Tanya Roberts (View To A Kill, Beastmaster), and Kevin McCarthy (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Just Cause). Original song by blues musician Richie Havens.
Will Tex and Chelsee finally get together... or is there a new woman in Tex's life? A secret has been buried for 3,000 years. What really happened on July 6, 1947, just outside Roswell, New Mexico? "It was no weather balloon..." This case may be too hot for even Tex to handle. Intriguing puzzles challenge your wits.

A personal favorite
Great story, with multiple endings. The mood is good, the graphics were good for its time.

Pandora Directive
The best of the Tex Murphy series, truly the only one that allows alternate paths towards the final conclusion. For Tex fans its a must have.

I love this guy
I played Pandora after playing Under a Killing Moon, games we had 25 years ago at home. It was pretty fun, and I even think I did not complete the game at that time. I love Tex Murphy character, made me laugh quite a lot. The story is pretty good and you just want to know what's next. I did not vomit playing the game which was quite a surprise given that most FPS makes me want to puke (litteraly) so the controls were not so bad. One of the issues with those 3D first person view adventure games is that you will probably miss some objects becasue you have so many places to search and some objects are a bit too well hidden. I found the game pretty difficult but with a good hints system (UHS), the game was still fun to play. About the different endings, it would take too long to run through them all, but I went on youtube after that, you will find all scenes ... and some endings are reaally funny. If you want some fun, be really nice, or be really mean, that will be more fun. On the bad side, there was a bit too much "find the key/code to open the door" riddles but a lot of them were quite fun to solve. There is the unavoidable labyrinth stage, totally useless as usual, but hey, they give you the map, so not so bad, just boring. And a tiny bit of action towards the end of the game, which I always find useless/annoying in an adventure game.
