A new episode in the Gumshoe Online series has recently been released by developers Hiding Buffalo. "Something in the Water" is the third full case (along with a free introductory tutorial) available for purchase.

In this latest "twisted story of big business, blackmail and murder", it's your job to save Wheaton City from a plot to contaminate the city's water supply. The new internet-only mystery promises 7-9 hours of gameplay, more than 140 rooms to explore, and 23 characters to interrogate, along with a generous selection of puzzles.

Not content with the status quo, however, the developers have listened to early feedback, and incorporated several important elements missing from the previous cases. "Something in the Water" features save points, game music, and no time limits, which should greatly benefit the gameplay.

To play Gumshoe Online, head on over to the game's website. For background information about the series, check out the Adventure Gamers feature article.
