Veritas
| Author: | James T. Reese | | Genre: | Collegiate | | Released: | 1995 | | Review: | A scavenger hunt set at Harvard - supposedly a graduation requirement -
with treasures ranging from a picture of yourself to a Gutenberg Bible.
The campus is chiefly explored via underground service tunnels.
Accurate where it's accurate, whimsical where it's not. Has some good
flash-of-insight puzzles and a fair degree of detail. Also has some
death without warning and one sequence that you cannot reasonably
expect to get through without learning from your death. Features a
false maze and hints from characters in the game.
Rating: ****
