Description from IGDB IGDB

La abadía del crimen (The Abbey of Crime) is a computer video game programmed in 1987 by Paco Menéndez and Juan Delcán.

Only the testimony left by his disciple, many years later, in a collection of scrolls; where the astonishing and terrible events that happened during the week they stayed at the Abbey are related, that appointment had been scheduled. The testimony of history that you are now going to relive ...
