Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror - Part 1 - Escaping Certain Death (PS1) (No Commentary)

Playthrough of the second Broken Sword game on the PS1. This playthrough is not blind, although I have not played this in a very long time and unlike the first game I have only ever completed this game once.
I got good memories of the sequel, in particular the demo area (the docks) which I played a lot in anticipation for the full game. However it did take me quite a few years before I got my copy and played it to completion. Had a blast replaying this one as most of the areas were kind of fuzzy in my mind.
Hope you enjoy!

Description:
Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror is the sequel to Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (also known as Circle of Blood) and the second game in the Broken Sword series.

The player alternately controls George Stobbart, the protagonist of the first game, and Nicole Collard, the French journalist he met in the first game and who has since become his girlfriend. The game starts with George witnessing the kidnapping of Nicole. This event eventually leads to an investigation into a conspiracy revolving around a forthcoming solar eclipse and the evil Aztec god Tezcatlipoca. The locations visited throughout the game include Paris, Marseilles, London, Quaramonte, the jungle, a Caribbean environment, and a zombie island. Certain locations from the previous game make a return.

The game is entirely in 2D and gameplay is in typical point-and-click fashion. The player moves the character around using the mouse, examines the environment, talks to other people, and collect items stored in an inventory. These items need to be used or combined with other items to solve puzzles.
