This game was my childhood and after so many years i finally get to play it and its exactly how i remember it, funny as hell, really out of pocket, very nice but also creepy artstyle.. 10/10 game and dlc

You'll be playing as Polyblank, a private investigator, who receives certain instructions from the Director. This game is really bizarre and inappropriately funny (which I find myself enjoying every bit of), and you can also take on side missions in the main areas, such as Kai-Tak Resort or Ikayaki Alley (even though you won't be getting any achievements for completing some of them)-to make this game a whole new...
