Fascination (video game)

Fascination is an erotic thriller graphic adventure game developed by Tomahawk and published by Coktel Vision for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS in 1991.

After the plane from Paris landed in Miami, Fayard Nichols, one of the passengers, suffered a heart attack and died in the arms of pilot Doralice.

Fayard entrusted Doralice with his briefcase and asked her to bring the vial inside of it to his boss, the head of Q.U.L., Jeffery Miller.

In her hotel room, Doralice is able to find the vial hidden inside an electric toothbrush and then calls Jeffrey.

Doralice then gets a call from fellow pilot Robaire de la Cafetiere, also known as Rob, who asks her to meet up at the pool.

At the pool, she also encounters Prisca, her chief hostess, who has been questioned about Fayard's death by an inspector in a wheelchair with a cat.

After a bit of investigation, she comes to the conclusion that Doc's henchman probably searched her room for the vial, which at that point had already been consumed by Rob.

At some point, Doralice takes out the box of chocolates that were sent to her hotel room and gives one of them to Kenneth, who subsequently passes out.

Rob explains that he has set up a role-playing game business and that he wanted to try out the story line before offering it to the public.

[1] Polish scholar Filip Jankowski criticized Cobbett's opinion, remarking that Fascination's ending predicted the finale of David Fincher's film The Game (1997).

Jankowski also stressed that Fascination was among the first video games featuring the female protagonist and adopting her viewpoint.

After having landed in Miami, Doralice takes the briefcase to her hotel room.
