Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?
Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!? (known in the US as Discworld II: Mortality Bytes) is a 1996 point-and-click or graphic adventure game based on the Discworld novels. It was released for DOS computers and the Sony PlayStation and SEGA Saturn consoles.
The player once again controls Rincewind, who this time must find Death and bring him back from retirement. The plot uses elements from Reaper Man and Moving Pictures, but there are many cameos from other characters, including Casanunda, Granny Weatherwax and others.
It was developed by Perfect Entertainment, producers of the previous game, and later a third Discworld game which was not a direct sequel.
