Reception

Computer Gaming World stated that because of its limited interactivity Who Killed Sam Rupert? "is better understood as a work of fiction" than a game, and would appeal more to mystery fans than gamers. The magazine described the acting as "surprisingly good", and hoped that "future titles will involve more interactivity ... a promising start" for CMC.[2] The game was reviewed in 1993 in Dragon #195 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[1]
