🕹️ New release: Lunar Lander Beyond

Murder on Main Street

Moby ID: 120093

Description

When Tessy LaReau goes missing, her friend Tracker MacDuff must put her detective skills to use and scour Main Street to track her down.

This graphic adventure mystery game puts the player in the role of the detective. Its gameplay is presented through a mix of a point-and-click interface and a text parser. The player can click on items in the main game screen to interact with them. Verb icons give the player extra ways to interact, and some of these require the player to type what they want to do.

This is an edited version of the game originally released as Caper in the Castro. This version was produced out of concern that a publisher would not be willing to carry an LGBT-themed game.
