About

Point-and-click adventure where movie monsters are literal actors in a Hollywood-style industry. You control Liz Allaire, a journalist with a counting problem, and Dan Murray, a tough guy scared of beetles, as they investigate mysteries at a horror film awards show. The premise: what if creatures from scary movies were real beings performing roles? You'll swap between both characters, each bringing different skills to puzzle-solving. Expect cartoon logic, absurdist humor, and situations built around the duo's quirks. The game leans into comedy over scares—monsters clock in for work, deal with agents, worry about their next gig. If you want traditional adventure game structure with a weird premise and don't mind jokes that land sideways, this delivers that specific flavor.
