Déjà Vu[1] is a point and clickadventure game set in the world of 1940s hardboiled detective novels and movies. It was released in 1985 for Macintosh – the first in the MacVenture series – and later ported to several other systems, including the Amiga. Initially, the game featured black and white graphics, and later releases introduced color.
Plot and gameplay[edit]
Macintosh version of Déjà Vu.
The game takes place in Chicago during December 1941. The game character is Theodore 'Ace' Harding, a retired boxer working as a private eye.
The player awakes one morning in a bathroom stall, unable to remember who he is. The bathroom stall turns out to be in Joe's Bar. A dead man is found in an upstairs office, and Ace is about to be framed for the murder. There are some clues as to the identity of the murdered man and to the player himself. A strap-down chair, mysterious vials, and a syringe are found, suggesting (together with a needle mark on the player's arm) that an interrogation has taken place.
Outside the bar, the player encounters adversaries including a mugger, an old acquaintance with a grudge, and the police. The player's boxing background proves to be a valuable asset. The player must find addresses around Joe's bar and then make taxi rides to a few locations (including his office) to gather more elements and unravel the story. It involves a kidnapping in which Ace has played some part, but his memory lacks important details.
Ace's memory and mental condition progressively deteriorate, so the player is required to obtain an antidote to the drug that caused the memory loss. After that, Ace has recurring flashbacks filled with information that help the player to evaluate the evidence and take action accordingly.

This game and its sequel, Deja Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas, require significant lateral thinking. Some situations are based in common detective techniques, while others require simple violence. Unlike other MacVentures titles (such as Uninvited and Shadowgate), no supernatural events are involved.

Some sources also add an additional subtitle of 'A Nightmare Comes True!!', a tagline that is absent from the in-game logo and NES game box.
