About Detectives: Detectives is a adventure game along the lines of Sam and Max, Secrets of Monkey Island, etc. It is split into a three episodes ranging around about 30 minutes to an hour to complete each one. Much like old-school adventure games, its about the exploring and interaction. There is also no combat in the game. Each episode will come with nearly every object and person interactable and most of all puzzles. The other two episodes are planned to be completed in a time frame of 6 months. Episodes 2 and 3 will be released on this topic as well!

Episode 1 Details:

Story: Mead and Stool are detectives that work in an apartment building that is starting to fall apart. After their rather disturbing record of how they complete each cases, they're business has started suffer. However, after running into Albert Moneyham: a rich paranoid who believes someone is out to kill him for not sharing his money to the public, employs both Mead and Stool to figure out who the killer is and bring him to justice. One way or another. Caldale City is where Episode 1 takes place in. The city was once a perfect place to live. After 160 years though, the city has been divided into two sections. Exurbia: The rich part of the city where only sleazy rich people who simply do nothing but roll around in their large amounts of gold. And not share it. The other part is Verge: The poor part of the city, corrupted with constant violence and crafty villains. Mead and Stool's main part of their adventure takes place in Verge.

Characters:

Mead and Stool: Mead is the brains of the duo detective team. He for the most part gathers all the cases and does most of the job, with Stool just there to back him up with things ever get dicey. Mead also doesn't like to the normal cases and rather focuses on something...unusual. He has had a few co-detectives before Stool but, no where near as fun to work with before him. Stool is - for a lack of better words: insane. He is the one who normally ends the cases in a disturbing and deadly way. He is also a lot stronger than some may perceive him to be, able to take on more than 4 body builders at once. But, a simple sneak attack will bring him down. Mead considers Stool the best co-detective he's had due to his violent approaches, humorous mind, and ability to not eat for months. Stool also has a fascination with fire.

Sax and Mam: They are Mead and Stool's next door neighbors. They are freelance police officers not answering to anyone. They excel in beating tons of bad guys at once and wooing attractive women. They are also great friends with Mead and Stool; and every now and then save the two from dangerous situations. They are a homage to three characters from Sam & Max by Steve Purcell.

Did you photoshop posterize all the tilesets in VX? Cause it looks exactly like that.
