Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Ten

Here it is, kids! The final chapter of Starman Plays Noctropolis!

In which we go to meet our destiny, confront the mastermind behind our troubles and marvel at how Flux was surprisingly budget conscious when it came to securing his inner sanctum.

(Incidentally, dog lovers may want to skip from 8:50 to 9:06)

We also see the funniest part of the game - the bloopers during the closing credits. That's not praise for the game - that's a commendation of how lame the humor has been.

 

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Nine

In which we escape from the nightmarish realm of The Drealmer, Stiletto makes a tearful confession that might have been touching if there had been any hint of romance in the game until this point and we finally meet the puppet master who has been pulling our strings... by burning a chair in a sewer.

No. Really.

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Eight

In which we escape the hell-maze of Master Macabre!

Because naturally the villain who tortures people to death in the back-room of a butcher-shop has a subterranean maze with a sliding-door puzzle on the only exit. That makes TOTAL thematic sense!

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Seven

In which we seek the missing Stiletto. We also arm local gang members, encounter a butcher of indeterminate ethnicity and finally confront Dr. Insano's lost great uncle... Master Macabre!

Oh, and the game's director gets a cameo doing a cheesy Don Knotts impersonation I can only say isn't the worst Don Knotts impression I've ever heard since this one can at least be identified as a Don Knotts impersonation.

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Six

In which we ponder the inability of the Noctropolis City Police Department to find a supervillain who advertises her location with billboards. Also, we encounter some PG-13 fan-service, cope with the selective usefulness of our invisibility powers and confront our greatest nemesis.... SPOTLIGHTS!

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Five

In which we start searching for the plant-manipulating villain Greenthumb. Do we do this by - reasoning that in a city of eternal night there's only so many places he could get plants - combing the local greenhouses?

No!  Instead we harass the employees of a high-class architecture firm, chat with a plethora of cultural stereotypes and have our partner seduce and beat-up a maintenance man. THEN we go look for the city greenhouse.

Yeah. Darksheer's kind of a crap superhero, isn't he?

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Four

In which we learn the sacred secrets of The Brotherhood of The Night and prove our worthiness to be the hero of Noctropolis... by physically and sexually assaulting our partner.  We then go looking for a clue and succeed.. after Stiletto seduces a security guard.

Yeah, Black Canary she ain't, folks.

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Three

In which our quest to become a superhero leads us to disrespect the dead, get raped by a demonically possessed nun and irritate the most bipolar widow ever.

Oddly enough, Frank Miller did not write this story.

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part Two

In which we read more comics and finally make our way to the City of Night! And so we begin our superheroic career... by hassling civil servants and newspaper vendors for information you'd think we'd already know about the world of our favorite superhero.

Starman Plays Noctropolis - Part One

In which we begin our quest to become a superhero - by considering our sad pathetic life, reading comic books, dreaming about sexy vampires and hassling a courier whose delivery company is violating a number of child labor laws.
