How to play La Abadía del Crimen on Mac
Game summary
La abadía del crimen (The Abbey of Crime) is a computer video game programmed in 1987 by Paco Menéndez and Juan Delcán. The game was originally conceived as a version of Umberto Eco's book The Name of the Rose. However, the developers received no reply from Eco in order to secure the rights for the name, so the game was released as La abadía del crimen.
This game is a videoadventure with 3D isometric graphics, where a Franciscan friar, William of Occam, and his young novice Adso have to discover the perpetrator of a series of murders in a medieval Italian abbey.
First released: Dec 1987
