The Point-and-Click Adventure Game "Detective Eleanor - The Golden Blizzard" is a Murder Mystery Game, which lets the player follow the mastermind detective Eleanor and her cute companion Ela the Elephant. The two of them wanted to go skiing and take a break from all the hard detective work. But once they arrive a blizzard hits the resort and suddenly one of the guests is dead. The police has no possibility to reach them. Therefore Eleanore has to investigate before someone contaminates the crime scene, and gets away with murder.

The game takes place during the Roaring 20`s.

Characters

The art style of the game is supposed to be "Tim-Burtonesque" with a hint of coziness added to it. Due to that I decided to give the characters really big eyes which can be read as both cute and disturbing at the same time.

Each character design is based of their corresponding totem animal.

Through the characters outward appearance I wanted to establish their personality, so that the player was able to identify what kind of person they are just by looking at them.

Hotel-Rooms

The rooms of the resort in which the different characters reside in are supposed to further establish their personalities. Once the player enters a new room they are supposed to be fully emerged into the characters world.

The Resort

Totem-Animals

The totem animals are supposed to give the player subtle hints on how to solve the puzzle in their corresponding rooms.

Hinting-Objects

These objects are pop-ups which open up once the players clicks on them. They are supposed to help them understand the relationships between all the characters. They help moving the story along.
