Description
Winner of Best Character from Adventuregamers.com as well as 10 of their Readers Choice awards including Best Story and Best Adventure of 2014!

Tex Murphy wakes up – disoriented and head pounding – on the fire escape outside his office atop the Ritz Hotel. Another typical morning for the last of the old-school detectives. Except it isn’t. What starts out as the worst hangover in history becomes a baffling nightmare: something – or someone – has erased Tex’s memory of the past seven years.

Motivated by lost love, revenge, and the world’s strongest coffee blend, Tex must retrace his own steps into a maze of unsolved murders, hidden agendas, and lost technologies of Nikola Tesla. Only by solving the mysteries of his past can Tex hope to regain his memory in time to restore what’s been lost and stop a terrifying future.
  • Tex Murphy returns to add another incredible chapter to the classic adventure game series. Noir sci-fi with a very healthy dose of humor set the stage for Tex's latest mystery.
  • The triumphant return of the FMV! With noteworthy actors and 1080 resolution, the colorful characters of 2050's San Francisco have never looked so good!
  • The greatest mystery of the century is about to be unraveled. Tex needs to find out what's going on in a hurry, but he'll have to deal with mutants, killers, femme fatales, and a bad case of amnesia to get to the bottom of things.

Tex Murphy is back!

Like in the good old times, with some puns, and a nice case, it's a game that will talk to every nostalgic of the Tex Games. It is really good and fun to play, it's has really that nice old feeling.

Fun game with several problems

Fans of this franchise will likely love this game. New comers or gamers expecting a polished title with modern visuals will likely be disappointed. While the FMV looks amazing and blends well, the game world that you maneuver in is extremely dated and plain graphically. There are several audio issues ranging from volume changes, displaced sounds, low quality, etc. The biggest problem I found is with the "paths". There are 3 advertised paths with 5 total possible endings. One of the ways to help follow a path is through arbitrary and completely non-intuitive dialogue choices that completely remove any semblance of choosing anything. You can score perfect on the detective scale, find all the collectibles, AND make the choices in the VERY sparse conversations you are allowed to... but none of that matters if you couldn't read the dev's mind during the dialogue options during unrelated conversations. Finding out in the end that I was stuck with a "losing" ending after specifically choosing what I felt was the best ending left me with a bitter sweet feeling that is heavy on the bitter side. The game was littered with other bugs, quality issues, and frustrations that accompany budget titles. For the price point, This is a very good and recommendable game. But customers should not expect a AAA title.

Tex is back in pure awesomeness !!!!

The intro of the game is so awesome, gave me chills and reminded me of Bladerunner. When you have a high end desktop there will be no issues but on my laptop I had serious sound issues (on my desktop it runs like a dream) , still hoping that a patch comes out because in the weekend my desktop gets hijacked by the kids and I want to continue this game !. If you got the hardware buy this game, possible the best release of 2014 !

mediocre at best

- simplistic 'puzzles' that are mostly nonsense and then tedious puzzles at times, mostly it's pretty too easy - the story is ehhh, and the seeming 'highly coveted path' has the least interesting stuff going on
