Tex is back! This game is in the spirit of all of the Tex Murphy games, especially the final 3, but updated with 21st Century technology. It's amazing what you get for $20.
There are over 5 hours of cinematography (green screen, real actors), packed full of punch lines while still telling a serious, complex story. For the puzzle-lovers, there is plenty of that in here as well. If you hate puzzles, you can go on Casual mode which allows you to skip them for a lower score.
This game also has replayability. Periodically, you are prompted to choose one of 3 dialog options. Over time, your dialog options have an effect on the game and cinematics. There are 3 different game paths, and 5 different endings. The cinematography with the actors is the highest quality I have ever seen--movie or game. You can clearly see someone as it would look if they were looking at you face-to-face, it is that detailed. They used double HD resolution. If you get stuck (on Casual mode), an in-game help system is available, again at the cost of a lower score. If you don't want to be tempted by hints and wish to go hard-core, you can choose to play on Gamer mode, though!
The only mildly disappointing thing is that some of the rendered environments (when not in the cinematography) are a bit worse than typical games these days. This is to be expected for a kickstarter game with a budget of well under $1 million and only a few people to devote to graphics.
Highly recommend!
