A product of its time
The highlights of the game for me are the two perky breasts that belong to an actual woman, a pretty one at that, and the comically exaggerated FMV. It also doesn't hurt that the game is pretty forgiving with its puzzles. For example, you don't have to use items on a specific place on the screen. If an item in your inventory can be used anywhere on the screen, your character will automatically use it correctly as soon as you tell him to use the item. Otherwise, this game feels like a wasted opportunity. If I got to see more of Noctropolis, if there were some hardcore sex scenes with the Succubus, if there were some SAW-like horror scenes with the Butcher, if Top Hat just got more screentime and Greenthumb just did something, anything, this would have been a much better game. Alas, a risque video game from the 90s is pretty tame by today's standards. If this weren't FMV, I'd probably give it a lower rating than many free games on itch.io. Why 4 stars then? I applaud Night Dive Studios for bringing this game to the modern era. Although the game has aged about as well as beef jerky, the setting, some characters, and the wacky superhero theme hold a lot of promise in my mind. Perhaps someday there will be a better version of this game by today's standards.
