You're faced with getting people alone, in a situation where there are potentially hundreds of witnesses. Suddenly the puzzle becomes a little trickier. You might think they stand out in a crowd but as it happens, Blood Money's crowd-the most realistic I've ever seen in a videogame-is full of folks with chicken hats. Take, for example, the carnival level, in which you must protect a canvassing politician from assassins. Meanwhile on the opera level, the scene you see is from Act 3 of Puccini's masterwork, Tosca-which itself is a mock execution.
The congregation slowly diminishes as the game goes on-look closely and you'll see that they are your victims.
The beautifully elegant opening screens, for example, show a modern church. Blood Money is filled with small jokes, references, and visual cleverness.
