A Rum Case in Fogtown
Puppet detectives Sherblock & Blockson are on the case to solve a dastardly sabotage against their favorite pub. You control the story in this madcap comedy joyride!
Guide the brilliant (but easily distracted) Sherblock and his stalwart companion Blockson through a madcap mystery where you control the outcome! Will you solve the case or plunge the city of Fogtown into hilarious chaos?
When pub owner Mrs. Hud faces mysterious sabotage on her storeroom of fancy liquors, her beloved establishment is faced with the threat of closure. Sherblock and Blockson leap into action to sort it out, but little is quite as it seems as they tackle one of the most baffling cases of their careers — all while forming a deep friendship meant to last.
A Rum Case in Fogtown is a modern take on the old-school interactive movie genre (aka FMV), made with real puppets!
Players pick from frequent onscreen choices that branch the story into fun (and surprisingly deep) new directions, all leading to multiple different endings... some satisfyingly conclusive, and some absolutely bonkers. The result is a raucous and rollicking family-friendly adventure that feels like an interactive, replayable episode of your favorite comedy television show. (No wonder Fogtown is being made into a TV series, too!)
Don't tell Sherblock and Blockson... but you're secretly in control of their fates from the beginning to the end! Make choices that solve their mystery, or leave them scratching their blocks!
