About

Episode 3 of an epic 5 game saga. In Episode 3, freelance shamus Sam gets steamin' mad, when someone snatches his little buddy's noodle, gunning for control of its inner powers. Now Sam's going all noir to get it back! Was it the giant gorilla? The two-bit rat? Or the fishy dame that runs the greasy-spoon? The caper is getting more and more twisty, and Sam's rolling up his sleeves, smackin' heads and throwin’ slugs to crack the case. * Episode 1: The Penal Zone * Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak * Episode 3: They Stole Max's Brain! * Episode 4: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls * Episode 5: The City That Dares Not Sleep - Finale
