This project will virtually bring the audience straight into the real event which took place 13 years ago in Pahang, based on the nation’s most bizarre crime and slightly fictionalized to enhance the horror emotions of the users. The user will be playing the character of ASP Talib, the Investigating Officer. Throughout the whole walkthrough, the user will be able to browse the entire bungalow, and some parts outside the house, of which the owner is Mona Fandey. Clues and hints regarding the crime the night before will be given and the user must locate them to solve the murder.
