A total delight! except it does seem to require you to be online almost the whole time you're playing. This has two serious shortcomings:-- If you have dial-up, you'll be online for hours.-- If the website dies, you're dead in the water.That last problem is a fatal one, I'm afraid. The game is not playable past the introduction without the websites and emails maintained by the publisher, who seems to be, um, not bothering anymore. Very shortsighted of them -- but I guess they thought they'd be around forever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016* Loved this game, great fun! ### ⭐⭐ Great Concept - Decent Execution - Lousy ending *by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2004* Other reviewers have described the premise, so I won't repeat it. The game is a multi-stage puzzle - a series of little shockwave games - some verbal, some visual, some involving a certain amount of dexterity (not a lot, fortunately). The games are infuriating at times, but given that their author is supposed to be a serial killer, one must make allowances.The idea of searching the web for clues, and receiving emails from other 'participants' is quite innovative, and adds to the immersion. Since the game has been published in Europe for some time, though, the searches also uncover walkthroughs. Bit of a temptation, that.The production values are excellent - the video sections are slick, with lots of very photogenic European locations, the acting is good, and the overall design is spot on. the story is compelling and the characters are sympathetic.For the most part, I enjoyed this game.So why the 2-star rating? Some annoying technical issues and a lousy ending.First, the technical issues:- When you first play the game, you have to log on, using a user name you created yourself plus a password assigned by the game. Better write this on a piece of paper because you'll need it every time you play. Don't these people know about cookies?- You can't save the game - it decides on the restart point. It isn't always where you would like to restart.- The game is supposed to integrate with your email client. Mine didn't - I use Eudora, and it fixated on Outlook Express(which then tried to take over, the way it does). I had to work around this by loading my email client before running the game. This is important because emails often contain clues.- The game was a CPU hog. When it was running, other applications didn't get a look in. Since the whole point of the game is that it coexists with a web browser and email client, this isn't good. A workaround is to use the XP task manager to drop the priority of the task 'missing.exe'. Maybe it's part of the game:).And as for the ending......(No spoilers, don't worry). Imagine that you've spent several hours working towards the denouement. At the very last minute, the screen goes blank and your only way of finding out what is going on is to wait for emails from the eye witnesses. These come in over a period of time. It's either designed to heighten suspense or the developers ran out of money.It's a shame how this game turned out: at the beginning, I really liked it.Oh well.Next! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/26311136-missing-pc](https://www.desertcart.at/products/26311136-missing-pc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
