A playable demo of Police Quest 4: Open Season re-made in the style of PQ2. Made in one month for the February 2023 MAGS competition.
Someone's on a killing spree and it's up to you to solve a string of seemingly random murders. Some clues may lead you to the killer. Some lead down blind alleys. You must find the killer before he strikes again. Play it by the book and you might just stay alive. Make a mistake and you could be the next victim.
This is looking awesome.
:shocked: :smiley: :smiley:
What are the controls? Clicking with the mouse doesn't do much. Maybe because I'm on Linux.
I love all your games so I look forward to playing this one :)
Thanks

The screenshots look like a text parser, so you'd better get typing! (nod)
Looks nice. Police Quest was one of my favorites back in the days.
This looks and plays quite good. Unfortunately, playability of such games are only as good as their parsers, and I got stuck (see the help thread), possibly looking for a word. At such an early stage (if this is indeed a serious project, and not just made for fun for MAGS), the parser is necessarily limited, and then so is the gameplay. But the "Translation" into this style is very well done. I have played lots of text adventures in my day, and would probably play this one through to the end as well if you decide to make it.
I found a small bug: If you unlock your trunk several times, you score two points each time.
Edit: Finished it with some help from Wiggy. I see that you don't intend to do a full remake. And to be honest, I would rather have you produce your own material, as I enjoy that a lot.
