Dec. 2024

Kept the same style game play as the early Tex Murphy Games that I played when I was younger, Under a killing moon and Pandora directive. So far I have enjoyed it and looking forward to the supposed release of new game.

A 3D puzze/detective game with full motion video seems kinda goofy but is still pretty entertaining

Aug. 2024

I've played Tex Murphy games since Mean Streets. Tex is a classic noir sci fi detective. Bumbles from one gig to another. Of all of the Tex games, this is definitely one of them. But in all fairness, this is the best production wise. Puzzle wise... I'd say its better than some, there aren't so many arcane wheel puzzles in this one. I recommend it on its aesthetics, and its perseverance as a game narrative. Its an adventure game, and I think if you come into it expecting more you would be disapointed, but if you come into it as an adventure game fan then your socks will be blown off. This game was made as a kickstarter and based on a game production that didn't have an infinite budget, its very successful.

Tex Murphy has been a guilty pleasure for me since the first game that I played on CD-ROM. This one is a great addition to the library.

March 2024

I LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH! The story telling was so good and it was so satisfying the way the game ends. if you like FMV games i would recommend this in a heart beat!
