The game ran on Windows and installed via disc. I think I played it during the XP era but it may have been available earlier or compatible with earlier systems.

You were an investigator (I think) who went through space searching for someone. You chose X/Y coordinates of the solar system to travel to different destinations.

You started at three apartment building I believe, looking for the guy. His apartment has been abandoned and his super seemed rather annoyed.

*SPOILERS*
In the end you send his spaceship into a black hole you discovered during your quest.
*END SPOILERS*

It may be part of a series and was mostly point and click iirc. It had basic 2d graphics and showed just a landscape (usually buildings) and a few things you could click on. You'd ring doorbells and ask people questions, maybe get some items from them. If it helps I think the main character's name might have been in the title. You had a spaceship and so did your enemy. Your space ship MAY have been damaged at some point and you might have needed to collect materials to fix it.

As I recall the backdrops were kind of Dr. Suessy, and the characters were more doodly or humorous than "realistic", for lack of a better term. Think cartoons. What I am positive about is that during the ending you hack into his ships controls or something and thus send him into a black whole you either discovered or heard rumors of earlier. Speaking of which, it was kind of a learning/brain game. You found clues and had to put 2+2 together, but as I recall some things were in shades of grey and you had to read between the lines. I believe it was probably released around 2000-2005.

As such it had mystery elements. You were like a p.i. or a cop or a sleuth or something.
