As the player, you must put together enough information proving some sort of illegal activity to report to the police before the CEO’s presidential announcement press conference. There are cameras hidden in locations around the large house with the ability to see and hear what’s going on, sometimes only able to hear. The player, as the PI, has exactly one weekend. The objective is to discover evidence of a corrupt CEO before he announces his intention to run for president. Who the client is changes each time is played. The player stars as a private investigator hired by a member of a wealthy family. Voyeur still stands as an example of FMV used well instead of the superfluous feature it would soon become. To give the CD-i some credit, it was able to produce some FMV games before the craze hit full force.
At a time when the video game industry as a whole was under scrutiny for violent and suggestive themes, a whole slew of FMV games with adult themes were hitting the market and Philips in fact intended for the CD-i to be a console dedicated to more mature audiences. Voyeurwas envisioned as the flagship game for the Philips CD-i, but since the CD-i never really made much of a public splash the claim is dubious. Stuck at the beginning of this game needing a code? 3333is the default. Publisher: Interplay / Philips Interactive
