Play Hugo II: Whodunit? Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

Hugo II: Whodunit? is the second installment in the classic Hugo adventure game series, following the style of early Sierra AGI titles. Players take on the role of Penelope, Hugo’s wife, who witnesses the murder of Great Uncle Horace through a keyhole after Hugo becomes trapped in a hidden room. The game combines point-and-click exploration with text-based commands, challenging players to solve puzzles and uncover the mystery behind the crime. However, its unforgiving design—where certain mistakes, like ruining key items, force a full restart—adds a layer of tension and trial-and-error gameplay.

Set in a creepy mansion, the game captures the charm and frustration of early '90s adventure games, with simple graphics and a focus on logical (and sometimes obscure) puzzle-solving. While its difficulty may feel punishing by modern standards, Hugo II: Whodunit? remains a nostalgic piece of gaming history for fans of the genre, offering a short but memorable whodunit experience.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
