I know nothing about this game, but the dude on the cover alone is iconic

i do love the idea of a point & click detective protagonist who's just an absolute sociopath in a completely unintended way

detective brent halligan might be the worst cop on the planet. in order to get a few coins so you can use a payphone, you have to go to your police station's lab, fill a flask with poison and feed it to a homeless man to steal all the money he has. the game does not offer any suggestion in any way that you might have to do this, but it is literally the only way to progress. it plays this completely straight like this is a normal reasonable thing to do to someone

It's goddawful in so many ways, took too much effort to get working, needed a guide for every step of the way, and you know what? I still had fun.

Yay: Dry humor

Nay: Moon logic

This somewhat unhinged game kept me entertained through most of its runtime. I was not ashamed to have a guide handy, and neither should you be if you check it out.
