The Pandora Directive, released in 1996 by Access Software, is the critically acclaimed sequel to Under a Killing Moon and the fourth entry in the Tex Murphy series. Blending full-motion video, 3D exploration, and classic adventure gameplay, the game stars Tex Murphy, a wisecracking private detective in a post-apocalyptic 2040s San Francisco. Hired to find a missing scientist, Tex uncovers a vast conspiracy involving government cover-ups, alien technology, and deadly secrets tied to the mysterious “Pandora Directive.” Known for its branching narrative paths, richly acted FMV sequences (featuring James Earl Jones and Barry Corbin), and a mix of noir and sci-fi storytelling, The Pandora Directive pushed the boundaries of interactive storytelling and remains a landmark in cinematic adventure games.
