About Detective Case and Clown Bot in: The Express Killer

Detective Case and Clown Bot in: The Express Killer

The Express Killer is the sequel to Murder in the Hotel Lisbon. It follows the classic point and click adventure formula from the 80’s and 90’s. The game itself runs at a native resolution of 256x192, the same resolution used by the old ZX Spectrum 48k and the Nintendo DS.

Synopsis:
Someone has been killing passengers on the express train from Lisbon to Porto, every single day since Tuesday! Someone needs to stop the killer! Once again Garcia is not up to the task (was he ever?) and reluctantly calls upon his old friend and his strange flying sidekick: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot.
Together, they will board on the express train, bother everyone by asking annoying questions, pick up everyone’s belongings and call them clues, drink and eat for free at the bar (because they are working after all!) and if all goes well, find and stop the express killer.
Oh, and they have to babysit Garcia’s kid because his mom is in Porto and Garcia is busy and since they are taking the train to Porto they might as well take him with them. What could go wrong, right?
Time for you to board on a brand new adventure filled with humor, cases (this time many cases!), mysteries, and even more characters now than ever before! Will you be able to gather clues, solve the puzzles, succeed the trials, and find the culprit before reaching the final station?!

Characters:
With the mythical Detective Case, also known as the world worst detective, a man so rough and rude that his witnesses would rather be run over by a slow-moving freight train than to be questioned by him.
The hilarious Clown Bot who, although he works as a Detective Case’s sidekick, he hopes in reality that one day he will get a job as a circus clown. Unfortunately, and no matter how many applications he sends, no circus will ever accept a clown that is afraid of children. He never sleeps, so besides working by day as a sidekick, he also works by night as a stand-up comedian in a local bar. People say that he is a joke machine!
And Garcia’s kid, what’s his name? Billy Joel? What is he doing here?

Original Soundtrack
The reviews for our soundtrack in Murder in the Hotel Lisbon were so positive that we decided to give you an even better one this time! Once again, the music was composed and recorded specially for Detective Case and Clown Bot and features classical orchestra and modern rock.
PS: We brought back the original soundtrack from the first game too, of course.

A final note to the newcomers: Even though this is a sequel, we made it so that you can fully enjoy the Express Killer without having to play Murder in the Hotel Lisbon! (Although nothing is preventing you from playing it first or after) ;)

God-awful pixelhunting (white on white, dark gray on black, etc.), way more repetitive dialogue (that's also less enjoyable than its prequel) and no actual hint system in a game that actually requires it. I got this on sale and I regret spending those $5. Get their other game instead or just don't bother with either.

PT: Granda sequela c******!!! Tal como o primeiro jogo, mais maluqueira, mais uns saidequestes marados e desta vez também vemos uma linda garrafa de Licor Beirão pixelizada!!! Um verdadeiro jogo à tuga (e que me fez decidir deixar de ir para Lisboa ou Porto no Inter-Cidades) e que recomendo jogarem (nem que seja só para se rirem)! ENG: A great f****** sequel!! Just like the 1st game, it has more sillyness, a few more cooky side-quests and this time also features a beautiful pixelized bottle of Licor Beirão!!! A real true Tuga style game (that made me decide to never take the Inter-Cidades Porto-Lisbon ever again) that I recommend playing (even if just for a laugh)! A quick note to people playing this game in english, though: If you play (and understand) in Portuguese, the game becomes 200% funnier

This one is good but the 1st one, for me, remains the best. Found some bugs, misspellings and whatnot, yet I wish there was more game to sink my eyes into its art because it felt a bit short. I liked the ost and that teeth hunting as well. I will wait (im)patiently for more Nerd Monkeys games, they are an amazing team.

I honestly can't give this give this game a good review, which is disappointing as I thoroughly enjoyed the first game. The first, and biggest, gripe I had were the pixel hunting aspects of it. If it was souly for hunting collectables than I wouldn't have minded too much, but for the fact that you had to find all of them to progress the game was quite tedious and annoying. The other thing is the ending. I'm not going to spoil here in my review but it felt quite anticlimactic and a little dissatisfying. What I will give the game is that that interacting with the characters was quite enjoyable. They were well written and The music was also excellent.
