How it feels

Feels like a campy, low-budget detective mystery where you click through live-action scenes with a wink and a nudge.

What players say

Players praise the restoration of this lost arcade FMV game, calling it a unique and funny choose-your-own-adventure. The port is criticized for missing a pause button and other quality-of-life features, and some find the trial-and-error gameplay frustrating with unpredictable deaths.
