Nick Bounty: The Goat in the Grey Fedora

Nick Bounty: The Goat in the Grey Fedora continues the comic detective adventures of Nick Bounty with another absurd mystery packed with eccentric characters, strange clues and deliberately silly situations. As before, the game follows the traditional point-and-click adventure formula: explore locations, examine suspicious objects, question people and combine items until the solution becomes clear. The humor is central to the experience, with the story constantly poking fun at detective fiction and the conventions of classic adventure games. The hand-drawn visuals give it an appropriately independent feel, while the puzzles provide enough resistance to prevent the investigation from becoming a simple stroll through the dialogue. Nick may not be the sharpest investigator in town, but fortunately the player is there to do most of the actual thinking.
