A downloadable game

This game is based on Police Quest 1, a game created and published by Sierra On-Line in 1987. But here the roles are switched and you play as Jessie Bains, the antagonist, a drug dealer and a card shark with the intention to take control of the drug trafficking in the city of Lytton. 

The game is created with Scala MM400 and it's a point and click game, very similar to the game Myst. Some would say it's a fusion of an old text adventure and Myst, only a lot crappier. 

The game isn't finished and a lot of things are incomplete:

  • There's no sound.. or music yet. And maybe it never will be.
  • The graphics are only placeholder-graphics, and as such they are also a bit crappy.
  • And the story is 20% complete... 30% maybe... Who knows?
  • and the list goes on... 

This is my entry to AmiGameJam 2024. I ended up using Scala. Why use Scala? Because I can! And I also love Scala, it's awesome. And I wanted to prove a point. 

How to play

You just point and click. :) Solve the puzzles and find a way to take control over the city.
