Police Quest II: The Vengeance

Point-and-click adventure where you're Sonny Bonds, newly promoted to Homicide in Lytton, California. You'll work cases using 1980s police procedures—gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, filing reports. The game demands attention to proper protocol; skip paperwork or mishandle a crime scene and you'll fail. Expect parser-style commands in some versions and a focus on procedural accuracy over action. Designed by a former police officer, so it leans heavily into the administrative side of detective work alongside fieldwork. If you want shootouts and car chases, look elsewhere. This is for players who don't mind reading case files and following investigative steps methodically.
