Sam Mallard's adventure engine was coded from scratch in assembly. The game is a re-imagining of an illustrated text-adventure released on the ZX Spectrum. It is designed to be accessible, so players cannot die or make the game unwinnable.

Features

A short film noir adventure on the go.
15 locations to explore.
Ability to save your progress.
8-bit Jazz noir sound-track.
Super Game Boy support.

Installation

The ROM file can be used with an emulator such as BGB or on a real hardware with a flashcart.

User guide

The clock had turned midnight and I was just about to leave my office when there was a knock on my door.

It was a Mr. Swan, owner of the Swanline shipping company. He explained that his wife was missing and the police had told him that, unless they can prove outright that there was an involuntary disappearance, they just file paperwork.

He said he'd pay me a grand upfront if I could find his wife by morning, no question asked.

That may be a suspiciously large reward for a simple missing person case, but I haven't had that many jobs lately and my wallet is getting thin...

...so who am I to ask questions?
