Halligan is the best adventure protag

Spoilers: In this game you play as detective Halligan and he's an absolute goblin of a character. Despite the pedigree of working for Scotland Yard as a detective, before the game even starts your character has a reputation for never returning borrowed office supplies, spends his time reading UFO conspiracy books , apparently has a several hundred pound pizza tab, and racked up so many international phone call charges that he is banned from making outbound calls by his boss. While adventure game protags generally are clueless jerks or underhanded rogues Halligan takes this trope even further by knowingly commiting multiple and rather severe crimes throughout the game, such as stealing crime scene evidence, poisoning a homeless man, desecrating a burial with a magical IED, stealing from a library, framing an innocent bystander for the crime of theft, cannibalism, and he even goes as far as murdering a bystander in order to exploit a loophole in a magical agreement he entered.

Extremely dated, but weirdly enjoyable

- Dated visuals - Awful voice acting - Long drawn out puzzles - Weirdly enjoyable despite the above

So Bad it's Incredible

Realistically this game should probably be around 1.5/5 but it's genuinely got heart and some incredibly funny moments. This game is utterly insane but it's also utterly enjoyable. Don't be afraid to use a guide, and just enjoy the ride, it's actually worth it.

Great game! Really grabs you!

I like this game a lot after giving it a chance. It's got an exquisite setting and atmosphere. The characters are well fleshed out and memorable. Though not all are likable. Some of the puzzles are a bit hit and miss but, that's to be expected. The sound and dialogue as well as the voice acting are all excellent. And so are the graphics for the time. Despite what some reviews say it IS functional on modern computers. Hell, it runs excellent on mine and I love the fact that it jumps right into the game when I load it instead of having to watch the introductions and title screens every time like most other computer games. Even most modern games aren't that user friendly. I've been playing adventure games since the 1980's and this easily ranks among my favourites! It's a forgotten gem! I'm so glad that I picked it up! You'd be crazy not to try it at least once. Especially when it's on sale. Give it a chance if you are a real gamer. You won't regret it!
