Looking for a firstperson detective game - solved

[TwinMoon]

Ok, there's a game I've played years ago, which I'd like to find again.

Unfortunately, I can't remember much about it.

It was a first person adventure game. And think it was from 1991-1993. I don't think there was an inventory, and it probably was 256 colours (or 16 colours but really tastefully done).
It wasn't futuristic, though it might have been in some near-future dystopia.

You're a detective and there's been a murder in a bar. I remember a talk with a police officer who didn't like you. By talking to people you get clues (dialogs are presented in the same way AGS / LucasArts does).
To proceed in the game you have to question all the characters about the other characters by typing single words in an input box, usually a last name or the name of a place. The game doesn't remember these clues so you have to write them down. I remember jotting down 2 A4-sized papers full of notes.
I think one of the important clues was the word OVERKILL or some word ending on KILL which was a secret government project or something like that.

Looking on Home of the Underdogs I found a game called J.B. Harold in: Murder Club which bears a lot of similarity to it, but it's not the same game.

Ok, I know this wasn't a lot of information, to put it mildly, and I'm probably clutching on to straws, but does anyone have a clue what this game could be?

Under a Killing Moon?

(Or maybe one of the others in the series?)


I remember playing it ages ago and it sounds a lot like your description. I remember being scared of about half of the game (particularly this part where you find a dead clown in a vat of acid, or something)

Thank you!

I checked the whole series out and it was Mean Streets. The word I meant was actually OVERLORD.

Thanks for helping out. It's so annoying when you know you know something but can't quite reach it.
