A Sierra adventure game I'd never heard of??? Well, we have to rectify that! The Colonel's Bequest is a weird Sierra adventure game, in that it doesn't follow most of the Sierra adventure conventions. But, you can still die on most every screen, so it's definitely Sierra.

THE COLONEL'S BEQUEST

(From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colonel's_Bequest )

The Colonel's Bequest is a character-driven graphic adventure game by Sierra On-Line featuring the character of Laura Bow. It was developed for MS-DOS in 1989. Ports for Amiga and Atari ST were released in 1990. It was the first of the short-lived Laura Bow Mysteries series created by Roberta Williams, which used many elements from the game Mystery House. The Colonel's Bequest was created with SCI0, and employed 4-bit color (16 colors) and a typing interface. Its sequel The Dagger of Amon Ra was released in 1992.

The Colonel's Bequest is one of the few Sierra On-Line adventure games to focus more on the characters than puzzles. Although solving puzzles is required to obtain a high score, it is more important to discover information about the characters' backgrounds and relationships with each other. Regardless of the importance of these elements, it is possible to finish the game without solving any puzzles, discovering many important details about the characters, or even identifying the murderer.
