Sensei Starman Plays Tex Murphy: Killing Moon Rising Alpha Day 1 Playtest - Part 3

In which we finally get down to business and talk to Rook about the burglary at his pawn shop. The good news is we get all the clues we need to find a suspect. The bad news is a new glitch stops us from moving forward.

Sensei Starman Plays Tex Murphy: Killing Moon Rising Alpha Day 1 Playtest - Part 1

In which we refamiliarize ourselves with the good ol' Access interface and marvel at the improved graphics and videos. (Well, all the ones that have been upscaled so far!) 

It's a fun time, despite some hiccups getting the game to run and my video recorder choosing the worst possible time to update and reset my settings.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Nine

The thrilling conclusion, wherein we have 45 minutes to save the world and even the God of Detectives is finally forced to agree with us that some of these puzzles are just blatantly unfair.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Eight

In which - after cleaning out our water cooler - we go after the shape-shifting assassin known as The Chameleon.  Thankfully, he turns out to have been incredibly chatty and his loose lips lead us to an off-world bar and a duo of doomsday cultists who are just fine with letting us gamble for our lives despite their orders to kill us on sight.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Seven

In which we enter into the bowels of GRS in search of more information on The Brotherhood of Purity and the elusive Winter Chip. This requires us dodging a rather persistent security drone, lest we be sent to meet with The Big P.I. In The Sky before our time is come.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Six

In which a confrontation with our old mentor leads to us picking up The Colonel's case. We'll critique his questionable office decor as we search for clues and drill his lady-friend in a way that is far more painful for us than her. (I am speaking of asking questions!)

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Five

In which a late-night assault and the theft of our meal-ticket leads to us being blackmailed by one of our "friendly" neighbors into getting proof of her husband's affairs. We then have to outwit the village idiot, break into a brothel and then confront the worst Peter Lorre impersonator in cinematic history.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Four

In which we take on a new case looking for a missing statuette. This leads us into the seedy world of antiquities dealing in San Francisco. Oddly enough, our neighbors know a lot more about the black market than you'd think and their tips lead us to a crime-lord's penthouse apartment...

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Three

In which the trail to serial burglar Mick Flemm leads us to talk to an elephant man, uncover the fate of the missing Rusty T. Clown and force a confrontation that is strangely timely give the recent fears over evil clowns taking over America.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part Two

The game is afoot as we begin our investigation into the burglary of Rook's Pawnshop. We also get to know the people in our neighborhood, from the idiot man-child running the hotel to the Italian mother stereotype running the pizzeria.

Starman Plays Under A Killing Moon - Part One

In which The Big PI In The Sky reluctantly decides to give us a shot at saving the world. But before that, we explore our office, the new and improved 3-D exploration interface and then hit the streets in search of a case. Preferably a case of bourbon.
