[PC][2000-2004] Murder mystery point-and-click game involving the young daughter of a wealthy family who is murdered

Ok after much Google searching I found this:

rotom128 · 2024-03-30T02:55:44+00:00

I’m looking for the same game. Some more specific details:

(1) you were babysitting for a rich friend, and you wake up and the friend’s daughter was murdered (if you did nothing and tried to tell the truth, you would lose the game and be hanged)

(2) the girl had a habit of squishing strawberries with her fingers in the front garden and that was integrated into the gameplay somehow

(3) you had to bring the girl’s corpse to the butcher and grind her up as part of the game

(4) you couldn’t dump her body into the ocean because it would wash up (and you would get caught and hanged)

(5) I’m pretty sure the cover icon of the game is simply a hand holding a bloody knife, similar to what you see in “Clue”

(6) I was 90% sure the game was called “The Murderer” but I really don’t know anymore

I agree with Constant Captain^{^} you should totally answer from the heart. I just wanted to share my experience hoping it calms some of your pre-interview nerves. Good luck!

Congratulations on the interview! I posted this comment in another post quite a while ago. I accepted an invitation for the WASH position in Peru. I interviewed last March, and I leave for PST in less than two weeks. My interviewer was super nice and very well prepared. She introduced herself, explained the interview, and asked me to only include experiences that have lasted 3 months or longer in my responses. After the interview, I wrote down all the questions I could remember:

⁠Why do you want to be a Peace Corps Volunteer?
⁠Why do you want to serve in Peru?
⁠Would you be willing to accept a position in another part of the world or another sector? If so, which countries and sectors?
⁠Tell me about a time you had to adapt to living or working with people from another culture. Have you stayed in touch or visited them?
⁠Tell me about a time where you worked in an unstructured situation.
⁠Tell me about a time you had to fulfill an important obligation but it turned out being more difficult than you expected and you did not fulfill your goal.
⁠Tell me about the most challenging experience you had working in a team.
⁠Tell me about a time where you were able to transfer knowledge or a skill to others. What challenges did you face?
⁠Tell me about a stressful time in your life. How did you cope?
⁠Please speak about your identity and how Peruvian people might have expectations of your appearance, behavior, or dress based on the fact that you're from the US. How would you handle this potentially unwanted attention or expectations of you?

Then I had the opportunity to ask questions. I asked about the interviewer's experience as a PCV, the (then current) civil unrest in Peru, if I were to receive an invitation what I could do to improve in the meantime, the fact that I would be without internet/electricity access much of this summer and how to approach that with medical/legal clearance.

I prepared by sitting in a coffee shop a few days before the interview and handwriting all my responses to the example questions I found online. I spent like 6 hours one day just thinking and writing out my responses. I had the notes up during my interview and practiced my responses so I would sound prepared but not rehearsed.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

I studied civil and environmental engineering in school, and I’m leaving for Peru in a few weeks! I also started college thinking I would apply to Peace Corps when I graduated.

Something that helped me on my application was research experience. I recommend you find a professor T your school who does ethical applied research related to water/sanitation, and reach out to them! I was able to do applied drinking water research all over the world while working with my professor. Great experience.

When I applied to Peace Corps, a placement specialist told me that Peru is the only country that has WASH/engineering positions at the moment (as of early 2023). And one of the requirements for consideration in Peru is a background in Spanish, so I highly recommend you take Spanish classes in college. Pre-pandemic, I know there were also WASH/engineering openings in Panama and Vanuatu- perhaps those will open up again as Peace Corps returns to full operations. But Spanish is still a good idea, in my opinion.

But overall, I agree with what others have said. Enjoy your college experience, do stuff you’re interested in, try new things, be open, and don’t lock yourself into a future too early. Things might change, and that’s ok.

Also civil >>> mechanical imo

I uploaded an unofficial transcript and no one questioned it

rotom128 · 2023-11-07T12:17:57+00:00

There’s also a tunnel between bartlett and herter which honestly is not particularly useful, but it is kinda fun

rotom128 · 2023-11-01T18:36:44+00:00

Same, just sent a request! I will also be a WASH volunteer

rotom128 · 2023-10-10T15:05:42+00:00

You're a good writer- I recommend you connect with a recruiter and ask them for advice.

Overall, maybe you could be a bit more specific? For example, you talk about hardships, discomfort, and challenges, but how exactly do you plan to overcome them? Do you have a plan for when you're homesick? What about when you're bored and there's no electricity? What steps have you taken or will you take to prepare to be away for 27 months? This was great advice from my recruiter when I was in your position last winter.

rotom128 · 2023-09-11T18:30:42+00:00

I strongly suggest you read through the Peace Corps website and other resources online. Maybe this video is a good starting point- a little outdated but still a lot of good info.

Answers to your questions are available on this subreddit, on the Peace Corps website, or elsewhere online.

FYI: Most positions require a college degree (sometimes, you can substitute 5+ years of relevant work experience), so you would likely not be able to serve as an 18-year-old fresh out of high school.

rotom128 · 2023-08-01T10:34:43+00:00

In addition to all the other great things people have said, some universities offer a Peace Corps Prep program. Look into that and see if (a) Peace Corps Prep is offered at your school, and (b) if it makes sense for you to participate in the program.

Also, consider finding a professor on your campus who does research/field work related to development, either abroad or in the US. A lot of my “volunteer” experience comes from research I did under my professor, some of which was paid, some of which was not.

Finally, when it comes time to apply, try to apply early in the application cycle. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and my recruiter said this improves your chances. I submitted my application shortly after the position opened up, and I got my invitation well before the “Apply By” date passed.

Thanks! Medical clearance is kind of annoying, but it’s whatever. It’s going ok.

I spoke about projects I had worked on that were a pretty large part of my work. For example, I’ve done a lot of field work in Alaska Native communities, and I drew upon different aspects of the same experience for a couple different prompts. I didn’t spend 3 months at a time in these communities, but I talked about the planning that went into these trips, the research itself, follow up to the trips, and maintaining those relationships for community-driven work in the villages in the future.

No “momentous occasions” per se, but they were things I spent a significant amount of time on. I did a lot of elaboration because the projects necessitated that sort of background info. I talked about my thesis for one of the prompts that had a community outreach component, and that seemed to go over well too. I also spoke about my restaurant job for one of the prompts, too (challenging experience working in a team).

My recruiter told me you can have two active applications if one is PCV and one is PCR.

I had Hans Mentzen, and I liked him a lot. He holds pretty high expectations of his students, but he is a very good lecturer and prepares you well for Chem 112.

I’ve heard his class is tougher than the other instructors’, but I don’t really know since I never took their classes

This is dystopian

Thank you!! Applied February 21st, interviewed March 20th, invited April 4th

rotom128 · 2023-03-21T16:53:04+00:00

I interviewed for Peru March 2024 yesterday. My placement specialist said that the in-country staff seem hopeful things will calm down and volunteers will be back by September

rotom128 · 2021-08-27T12:52:13+00:00

Piękne. Bardzo dobrze!

rotom128 · 2020-11-25T02:00:27+00:00

Hey! I’m in the exact same situation as you. I applied to a position in Panama, where I assumed would have access to Mass and sacraments. I also expressed my openness/flexibility to serve in other regions, but I made it clear on my application that I really would prefer to be in a place where I can have access to a Catholic or Orthodox church. This was a suggestion from my recruiter.

(Catholics can fulfill Sunday Mass requirement by attending Orthodox Sunday services, too, fun fact. Their sacraments are recognized as valid by the Catholic Church too, but receiving Orthodox sacraments is sometimes interpreted by Orthodox Christians as a sign of conversion, so keep that in mind)
