It's nighttime in the City of Angels. Two cops approach end of watch on a busy night shift. Then there's one last call...

A short point and click adventure game made by GOC Games in one month for MAGS September 2022.

I played it, and it's a good game! I'm not all that fond of using the darkness and finding my way through pixel hunting, but I forgive it readily when it's an integral part of the story. I liked the two puzzles outside the best, though. (The ones inside are classics, but I've done variants of them in other games.)

Is it just me, or are these walkcycles unusually good? Also nice use of light effects and a very appropriate tune from Eric Matyas. And the title fits to a t.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

As for the walk cycles, in the interests of full disclosure, they're based on Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I'm not bad at backgrounds but I've tried for endless hours to do my own walk cycles from scratch and I'm dreadful at it! So I use them as a base and then adapt them for my purposes. Some may see it as cheating but I've made my peace with it!
