  • Shooter
  • Retro
  • Detective

A first-person shooter with the black-and-white look of 1930s cartoons. As detective Jack Pepper, you gun down gangs across linear 20-30 minute levels, pick up clues and head back to your office.

Why play it now

When you want fast firefights in half-hour levels and a campaign you can finish in roughly 10-16 hours.

Who it's for

For DOOM and retro shooter fans who enjoy the cartoon art and the jazz as much as the gunplay.

When not to pick it

If you want real detective work: clues sit in plain sight and the plot solves itself.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 95 out of 100
  • Story: 50 out of 100
  • Exploring: 40 out of 100
