This Month's Most Viewed Games Tagged 'core, Windows, adventure, detective' on The Great Games Experiment http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/css/logo.jpg en-us Hello there, gumshoe. Fedora Spade's the name. I'm a dick. What? No, not figuratively. The lady across the street might argue otherwise, but I digress. Anyway, I'm a detective, a homicide detective to be exact. I didn't grow up wanting to be a detective, mind you. I hated the cops & robbers game... the other kids always forced me to play the bad guy and gave me a good ass-kicking whenever I was caught. Not a very pleasant childhood memory, yeah? But that's beside the point. I wanted to be an astronaut. I just thought that it'd be neat to explore space, see? But it never happened, as you can probably tell. Math and physics... I can't say that they're my favorite subjects. Plus, watching the challenger explode into a big firework is pretty traumatizing.

So why did I become a homicide detective, you ask? Well, apparently it's the only job that's available for me here. Crime's rampant here in Lawless City, and dead bodies continue to crowd the streets. They need people to combat crime, expendable people; preferably people that aren't too bright in the head. People with a diploma in sociology, or psychology, or some other I-just-want-to-graduate-quickly major. People from third-rate universities who can't seem to find a decent job. People like me. It's dangerous work, but it sure beats flipping burgers. Or is it? I don't know... it's too late for regret now.

Anyway, gumshoe, I've had my fill of bourbon tonight, and I'm in the mood to talk. Why don't you sit tight and lend me a pair of listening ears, eh?

]]> 17 Jun 2007 09:37:15 Exactly one year after the Jack Lorski case, our agency is confronted again by the serial killer Phoenix, who kidnapped our collaborator and his partner Karen Gijman. We recently received a new CD-ROM, similar to the one we received from the Phoenix last year. Why did the Phoenix suddenly choose to resurface after all these months of silence, by sending us a new CD-ROM? We are persuaded that the release of this new piece of evidence to the greatest number of people will make it possible to advance the investigation. We thank you for your help, in any form possible, to put an end to the Phoenix’s murderous scheme.

Their mission, it seems, is to assist tormented spirits and investigate supernatural goings on. They don't understand why they are thrown together, but they do the best they can.

The duo's first case will involve a series of suicides at a local university. Something unnatural has forced these students to kill themselves, and nobody knows why. Rosangela, who is just coming to terms with her new status as a medium, finds herself cast as the unwilling detective in this gruesome mystery.
