Ripley's Believe IT or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu - Gameplay

Gameplay

Master Lu is a typical point and click adventure game. Robert Ripley travels in several parts of the world. A common feature of all locations is te "Posh Express" office where Ripley books his next destination, and also exchanges mail with other characters of the game; the advancing of the backstory narrative is revealed through mail that arrive to Ripley in each station.

Each location also hids a "bonus" quest. Ripley also has a journal in his inventory. The player is enabled to find out which locations are important enough where Ripley can draw his Believe It or Not! cartoon, and thus keep track of the progress in the game. Furthermore, in some screens there are artifacts that Ripley can find. These can be mailed to New York, and each time the player visits the Odditorium he can see these artifacts on display. Gathering those items doesn't affect the story nor rewards the gameplay, but is supposed to make the business wealthier.
