The Birdwatcher

The Birdwatcher is the thirteenth game in the Carol Reed series. Set in Sweden in the summer, Carol has been down with the flu. She is contacted by Immodia, a character from a previous game Profound Red, because her future husband Henrik, a recent widower, has disappeared. She wants Carol to help her track him down. The game uses its trademark first-person view with photographs of real locations and objects in a fixed-screen slideshow style. There are puzzles to solve with items stored in an inventory near the top of the screen. A journal is used to keep track of objectives.
