Missing left off. The Phoenix is still at large and still up to his old tricks, leading investigators on a wild goose chase, as more bodies are uncovered and more people kidnapped. It's a fun experience that plays exactly like the first, with a couple minor improvements. It doesn't bring anything completely new to the table, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deliver. The sequel plays out much like the original, with 'chapters' that have 'pages' that need to be solved. Every time a puzzle is solved, the Phoenix reveals another clue in the form of a movie, either from Jack Lorski's (who many who played the first game will be very familiar with) documentary in his pursuit of the Phoenix or a pair of women, Jessica and Sharon, as they search for a long lost brother named Adrian. This isn't all the help the player has to help them along on these usually vague and complex puzzles, though. Kristin and a crack team of specialists often send emails with clues and things they've 'discovered'. Players can also create a network for themselves through the website, with others who are playing the game at the same time.
The puzzles themselves range from easy and obvious to obscure and impossible, even with clues. Solving them involves a variety of tactics, from searching the web (and players would be well advised to use the built in search function on the special website provided) to using tools provided in game to examine images. Many involved inputting a name of some kind, which can be discovered by searching the web or by deciphering anagrams or codes. Others use elements of sound. For example, one such puzzle required putting together a sequence of sounds in the proper order. Other puzzles are incredibly basic. One required circling like letters without managing to get other letters stuck in the circle. It's a good mix of hard and easy, but there are a couple puzzles that really stump, even with Kristin's clues. These could be showstoppers for anyone unwilling to search outside message forums for help.
Creepiness pervades the entire atmosphere of the game and the graphics contribute to this on several levels with a mix of disturbing images and videos using real actors. There's no real change from the first game on this front, but it definitely gets the job done. The puzzles that make use of a woman bound in various ways and tortured are really disturbing, but in a good way. The sound and music is also appropriately disquieting and even though these are puzzles and documentary videos, not graphic animations, and the format is known, the whole package can sometimes make a person jump and their skin crawl.

The packaging lacks any written manual, but the game does an adequate job of helping people along, through the emails and the intuitive controls. There is a readme on the disk with all the necessary instructions, if someone is finding the basics a little hard to grasp, but that should rarely happen. The website has a web search function and a translator. There's also a notepad that players can use to jot down things they think are important. The coolest part of the website, of course, is seeing the player's name flash across the top of the screen every time they advance through a puzzle. There's just something about this form of tooting one's own horn that is really appealing. There's also the opportunity for players to write articles about their experiences in the game that other player's can read.

In Memoriam 2 (known as Evidence: The Last Ritual in the US, In Memoriam: Le Dernier Rituel in France) is an adventure game by French studio Lexis Numérique for Windows platform, and is notable for its Alternate Reality-style gameplay, in which the player receives e-mails from other in-game characters,[1] including the game's main antagonist, as well as being asked to find a lot of information and clues to the games' puzzles on the internet, both from real websites, and from specially-created websites that have been mixed in with other 'real-world' domains.[2] In addition to these, the French version of the game (only within France) offers (for a one-time fee) to send SMS messages to the player directly to their mobile phones, as well as the ability to call any of the characters and have a real phone conversation with them.
Plot[edit]
The game finishes the same story previously started in Missing: Since January. Jessica Moses is searching for her missing brother, Adrian; who suddenly disappeared six years ago. Jack Lorski, the journalist who had been previously kidnapped in Part I of the game is found dead, with a large portion of his torso removed. A couple of weeks later, the authorities received another DVD from the Phoenix full of clues, murders and Jessica's movie with different riddles and enigmas. In order to stop him, the authorities have copied the disk hundreds of times for distribution to help with the case.
Jessica is contacted by Adrian, who had been estranged from the family for several years. She and her compatriot Sharon travel to New England in search of him. After meeting with a police officer in charge of Adrians missing persons case and a former roommate, whom Adrian had studied graphic design with, Jessica becomes concerned that Adrian had become involved in some kind of criminal activity. After discovering a secluded cabin were Adrian had been staying, they are led to a Catholic splinter sect known as the OSCS. Jessica visits the groups headquarters, discovering the building is abandoned with the exception of a squatter. They then visit an ex-cult member, who fills them in on life in the cult as brutal and oppressive.
Prior to this, though presented in tandem, Jack Lorski is working with a Portuguese police officer, investigating several apparently random murders of elderly men. After discovering a link between them and a group known as Manus Domini, Jack is convinced the killer is the reemergent Phoenix. They then discover the body of a much younger man near an abandoned copper mine, with his heart torn out. After seeing pictures of the man, Jack is initially convinced that it is the Phoenix himself, but finally agrees that it was only the Phoenix's disciple, Adrian, the computer programmer for the initial CD as well as the lion's share of the programming of the current game. Jessica and Sharon receive a message from Adrian asking to meet him at Ouren castle after dark. Jessica is knocked out and Sharon is abducted. Jessica is confronted with the fact that her brother was murdered trying to warn her away from the castle, and is put in protective custody. Jack and the police are presented with evidence that the Phoenix will be performing another ritual murder at a different castle, and rush to capture him. The realize, after finding a women's severed hand, that it was ruse. Upon returning to the safe house, they find Jessica missing and the entire household guard dead.
At this level in the game, lines of code begin running through various portions of the puzzles. This is, revealed by emails, a spyware program, written by Adrian and the Phoenix, to decode Book XIV using the distributed computing system created by the duplication of the game disc. An ICPA programmer creates a tracer program to pinpoint the Phoenix's current location, believed to be in Scotland, by identifying his IP address. Then the player is tasked with discovering the Phoenix's username and password, which was hidden, by Adrian, in the various films of the CD, as a failsafe in the event of his death.
The Phoenix's location is tracked to northern Scotland, where Sharons mutilated body is discovered, along with additional victims from the surrounding countryside. Gerde Hanke, the profiler from the previous game, tracks the Phoenix to his hideout, an excavated warehouse. After cracking the Phoenix's password, the player is given access to the warehouse's surveillance system, and guides Gerde through a series of gates meant to be similar to and symbolize the interior of a pyramid tomb. Upon reaching the culmination, a new security system is accessed. The body of 'Osiris', assembled from the various body parts of the Phoenix's victims, lies hanging against a wall, with Jessica slumped on the floor nearby. Gerde enters and is attacked, presumably by the Phoenix. He knocks the person out as the room catches fire. Grabbing Jessica's prone form, he dashes from the room, presumably leaving the Phoenix to burn alive. Following the end of the plot, an email is sent to the player from a helper who infrequently contacts the player and is strongly hinted at being the actual Phoenix, still alive.
The puzzles are similar in nature to those of the previous game, with incorporations from newer services and websites, such as Google Earth and Mapquest. Several features are carried over from the previous game, such as the 8 mm film that was central to the previous game, as well as many improvements, including the ability to replay video clips that had previously been seen, which frustrated many fans who operated under the premise that the clips contained clues, but could only be viewed once.
