I Was a Vegas Showgirl

Moby ID: 49984

Description

The story of I was a Vegas Showgirl based on several film noir elements: Sissy O'Leary was a Vegas Showgirl. Now she's dead. But her spirit guide Chief Sitting Duck is giving her another chance. Sissy's beau Billy Lyons wants her to steal Stack-O-Lee's lucky Stetson hat. Stack-O-Lee is the toughest Casino owner in Vegas, but with his Stetson Billy can win the money they need to make it to California.

The gameplay is similar to other 3D adventure games like Grim Fandango or Escape from Monkey Island. Sissy can be moved using the WASD or Arrow keys. The names of characters and objects with which Sissy can interact appear on the screen when she gets close to them. To interact with them pressing the spacebar is used. Examining is done through another key. Sissy also has an inventory where items are stored.
