How to play Murder in the Alps on Mac

Game summary

Murder in the Alps is a game like no other. It's a fully interactive crime novel inside of a game's shell. This artistic marvel brings you back to the 1930s, when every man is a gentleman and every woman is an elegant lady. A very cozy hotel tucked away in one of the farthest corners of the Alps. No one expects how bizarre things are going to get. The plot begins, as one of the guests is missing to the dining table and shorty after others starting disappearing. Anna Myers, the journalist from Zurich who conveniently happened to be staying at the hotel, took it upon herself to solve this mystery. Each day the plot thickens as Anna has to decide, which one of the ten completely different, mysterious characters is the killer.
