Nobody is talking about how this game was designed and directed by legendary composer Tim Follin. Also, RIP Paul Darrow (Paul Rand) who died in 2019.

EDIT: so after doing some research, (googling it): this was allegedly the second proposed ending. The original twist had Ryan as the killer, but his actor became seriously ill on the final day of filming. With no money or time to extend production, they rushed and patched this ending together. Originally, the game was supposed to end with Kyle holding a knife to the girl’s throat while Jenks fights them both and is nearly killed—until Simon returns (after disappearing to get proof of Ryan murdering Kate), saves Jenks, proves his innocence, and exposes Ryan as the killer. EDIT 2: after doing more research, apparently this whole game was made by one man, Tim Follin, he daydreamed about the game in the late 90s but couldn’t do anything about it cuz he didn’t believe the technology was advanced enough at the time he taught himself how to code , he did the writing, paid all the actors out of his own pocket and compose the music. So I was a little harsh on the ending originally not knowing the context. But now I think it’s really awesome what he was able to achieve on his own.

I've been a vod watcher for a good several months now but this is the first time I've been able to catch one live, and what a ride to be that. I think I'm gonna need a few days to process that ending lmao. Thanks for the fun stream!

This game has more loose ends than a spaghetti minti doll.

I can't believe Minto is high on bagels Good work, Detective Minki

Phantom detective skirts past the evil cult and finds the murderer.

Thanks for streaming! This was cinemaslop

< me when we saw the ending

i just got done finished with work right as Mint was discussing the ending to the game! at least that means i get to watch some Mint vods in bed, thank you as always for your hard work especially with the TWO streams today Minto!

Was able to catch this one live and it was wonderful experiencing this game again. Jenks is like Halligan if he had his life in order lol

there really is nothing else that hits the same as a good FMV game. TY Minto for the fun time!

In some ways, that ending is perhaps the best thing that could have happened for this game.

Thank you for streaming this game of all time! Truly this was "Cinema, Or Something". It is always a delight to experience these absolute Events with you and with everyone!

lol, lmao even. The was the most insane and funniest ending, I didn't expect a washi tape would be the biggest evidence to end it all. Thank you for the stream, Minto! I'm gonna miss Jenks and his awesome expressions.

The ending is even wilder than the ending of Puzzle Agent.

Thanks for the stream Minto! Despite how the ending resolves (or doesn't I guess), the acting definitely made the game super enjoyable. This was a lot of fun to watch!

THANK YOU FOR THE STREAM MINTO!!! This game was something and I honestly love it for that, not as absurd as Druids but definitely something

"A few more questions, if you don't mind? "If I were to do THIS "would that mean anything to you?" "Hmm... no." "Thank you. Probably be back later."

Having to end like that is pretty heartbreaking. I've seen many games do a third-act or last-minute twist crazy twist, but never a down-shift.

Thanks for the stream Minto! It was a lot of fun 🤟

There's definitely a lot to be desired, but it's got heart and whimsy and that's worth something too. Also, this is the same Tim Follin that composes banger soundtracks to forgotten games.

Who among us hasn't just grabbed a stick and just given someone a little push in the water with it? You know, no biggie.

Thanks for the double stream, Detective Minki!!🤟 You did great today!!! That game was so silly, i had a lot of fun watching and hanging out with everyone!!

Minto working overtime today. Thank you for the Minto double feature! She loves us!

I love when things would be getting serious Jenks would still be a silly lil guy lol, Thanks for the stream!! 💚 🤟

Its so funny how once the detective got the culprit forget everything else no matter how bad and/or illegal was . Well at least he got the culprit, great game minto

Thank you for the stream Mint

That was certainly an ending. Acting was super fun throughout, though, so it was worth it anyway! Thanks for the fun streams, Minto!
