Nick Chase: A Detective Story (Adventure-lite)

Options include Music, Sound, Ambient Sound and Full-screen.

You have a certain number of HINTS, which you can get more of by filling Nick's gun. Find bullets in each scene to get extra hints.

Mini-games are SKIPPABLE.

The game is done in classic cartoon mode, very reminiscent of the old Dick Tracey comic strips. In Batman-style, sound effects pop up - BANG! POW! SLAM! haha

You play Nick Chase, the gritty detective with the character-filled voice. Those who loved the voice in Mystery Legends: Sleepy Hollow are sure to enjoy Nick's deep voice.

I find this game delightful, it just tickles me. It's not a HOG, it's not an adventure... It's kind of a mixture of the two, with more emphasis on adventure.

The game is heavily story-driven, and yet it's not. It's hard to explain. There are a lot of comic-book cut-scenes between interactive areas, and they are voiced-over. You can click once to fill in all of the text, click again to skip over the comics.

There's a sense of humor throughout the game - it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's just something you've got to try to understand. So, what are you waiting for? The demo is free, so go get it!
