As FMV games go it was actually pretty good and I hope it gets a sequel. Speaking of which, is the second bonus video still forthcoming?

I'm still surprised how much I enjoyed the amazing writing and acting in this. It'd be a shame to not see a sequel.

Fleet of foot, and all that!
As someone who has worked for the Police in the UK this is probably the oddest portrayal of a Detective Inspector I have ever seen.

Oh God no the ball is gone.
Sucks I missed this thread while the LP was in progress but I love that someone did it so I can relive Jenks' amazing acting without having to actually go through and replay the game. I would buy every FMV game where that actor plays Jenks and does his thing.

I am a Plant.
This was quite a ride.
I am personally really confused people didn't instantly connect the hand sign to music when interviewed. Only mention is Jenks' initial comment on it.

What a disappointment of an ending. Everything Jenks did was basically for nothing.

I did enjoy the ride though, even though the story got way out of hand at the end there.

For all that they talk about getting rid of guilt, those people are acting fairly guilty, aren't they?

What galls me, what really galls me, is that Jenks had all the clues in front of him in more or less the first hour. He knew about the fight at the pub, that it was over blackmail of someone who was sleeping with the pub owner's wife, who taped over the window with the same odd-looking tape found stuck to an oddly out-of-place personal article of the deceased. But he takes no notice of that, until someone tries to establish a desperate alibi.

I am glad to report that after many hardware and software issues, I am actually working on the second bonus video again.

Bonus Episode 2 - THIS video took way too long to make and probably wasn't worth it for the value of the joke!

In any case, that'll do it for this LP. I do hope the game gets a sequel, as much as the mystery should have been solved halfway through the game. Thanks to everyone who chimed in here in the thread!

Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.

I thought the blackmail plot was rather obvious, but completely ignored the tape, as it was completely unremarked upon. I certainly did not connect it to the window, particularly since the game never allows you to re-inspect spots of interest for another closeup.

Would have been far better if it wasn't in chronological order, but sorted by object.

That's great and really emphasizes the way Jenks thinks every time he presents something to anybody it's going to be the thing that cracks the case.
