Funny how?
I knew from the moment that I saw it in my inbox that I was going to write about Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in The Hotel Lisbon. It doesn’t matter what it’s about, or what sort of game it is. It could be a hidden object game about Dutch tulip horticulture. Who cares. Look at the name again. Read the name. Bask in the name.
As it happens, Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in The Hotel Lisbon is a comedy adventure game, which is right up our alley. It released for PC last year, and Portugese studio Nerd Monkeys (they’re good at names, this lot) have just ported it over to iOS and Android, where it will be available next week on the 22nd.
The title characters must solve a murder in this point-and-click adventure, interviewing witnesses and piecing together clues. I’m not going to attempt to out-do this description from the devs:
A strange murder has occurred in the Hotel Lisbon, a man committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at the same time he peacefully drank his coffee. This case with contradictory facts was too complex for Policeman Garcia to solve, so he decided to hire the only detective duo in town capable of solving it: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot.
Together, they will solve a network of love relations so complex and so intricate, that it would take at least 14 clairvoyants, 5 apocalyptic sect prophets who can predict the end of the world and 3 of those gypsies that can read the palm of your hand just to guess the final outcome.
That is one finely cut jib. Maybe I should get these cats writing for PT. Watch for DCaCBiMiTHL next week — in the meantime, here’s a trailer.
