Cruise for a Corpse (orig. Croisière pour un cadavre) is a point and click adventure game from Delphine Software International, made for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS. The game's story sees players assume the role of a French police detective who is invited aboard a millionaire's yacht, only to find themselves investigating their murder shortly after the boat sets for the sea, interrogating a wide variety of characters and seeking out clues to solve the mystery. The game was praised for its animation style and story, but criticized for its gameplay, graphics, and other issues.
