That’s definitely not the game I was thinking, and I was only thinking an ad in the game, rather than the whole game being an ad. But the revelation of a phone company adventure game is so amusing and educational, that combined with the fact that the company’s name is right there on the title screen, I’ll accept it as a valid answer.

Your turn to pick an item. 😀 That’s very generous, but you are right: We are searching for a game with an ad - and not a whole ad game. 🙂 So your puzzle still remains unsolved! ---

I’m pretty sure that I have not played the game Caven is thinking of, so I have focused on that advertisement poster I was talking about in a previous post and I have realized that the game is “Secret Files: Tunguska” (which is an undervalued game, in my opinion). 🙂 I have been able to remember it only in an _indirect_ way: I remembered that the “evil corporation” featured in that game is also a phone company and at that point the connection to the ad was easy. It is a simple poster ad on the wall of a street. Here is the next “thing”: ## a cathedral! (not just any church: it needs to be a cathedral) ---

And, by the way… the solution to “the dead pig” is [Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the ripper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_Holmes_Versus_Jack_the_Ripper). Which, in spite of the somehow naive name/plot and the obscure ukrainian dev team is quite a good game. Here are the dead pigs: [![](https://images.spaziogames.it/notizie/2009/2/pc/101083/101083_3_fhd.jpg) ](https://images.spaziogames.it/notizie/2009/2/pc/101083/101083_3_fhd.jpg) You have to use the pigs to reproduce the cuts found on a victim to identify the murder weapon and to clarify the dynamics of what happened [http://guides.gamepressure.com/sherlockholmesvsjacktheripper/gfx/word/1607703687.jpg](http://guides.gamepressure.com/sherlockholmesvsjacktheripper/gfx/word/1607703687.jpg) ---
