God Policenauts sucks! It's so bad. It's like a really bad Visual Novel. And I don't know, seriously, VN are like the easiest thing in the world to design. So when you design a bad one, that is remarkable.
Like the entire story of Policenaughts is not only a pixel hunt, but you basically have to try everything, and then try everything multiple times. So if you don't know this, like if you want to know about some photograph, you ask about the photograph, and she tells you something, and then you have to ask the same topic again. So that photograph entry can occur 3 or 4 times. And then you have to start from the beginning and try them all again because the third time might have opened something new up. And you have to exhaust every single option. ALL OF THEM. Before the game will let you move on. That is HORRIBLE.
No, it's not like an oldschool adventure game. Because in an osa you don't have to look at and inspect everything on the screen multiple times. You're just sitting there, desperately wanting to move on with the plot, and then you're stuck trying to inspect every little thing over and over again, and asking people the same questions over and over again. Ah it's bad. And when it finally gets exciting, it gets exciting for 20 seconds then you're right back at it.
Is the plot interesting? Not really. Yeah, not really. You know what the story is? It is 5% Blade Runner, 95% Lethal Weapon. It is literally Lethal Weapon. It's straight up Riggs and Murtaugh. It's not even subtle. He rips off whole scenes. It's amazing.

thanks for bumping another no doubt fascinating thread off this board faggot
Plot-wise it has a really strong start but just goes absolutely nowhere, really dull Kojima standards and it's a shame. I like the gameplay just fine though, it's like Snatcher but more intuitive, less scrolling through lists.

Yeah, sounds like a japanese adventure game to me. Famicom Tantei is also like that.
whole plot is a god damn bait and switch.
The theme music is good though.
