Rick Spanner, Needlessly Violent Private Eye (Patreon)

It's time for another entry in the Gamics universe: Rick Spanner, Needlessly Violent Private Eye! Help Rick help his dame, Swing Danger, come face to face with the ills of society and the horrific situation Swing has found herself in.

This is a super short game. And a super dumb game. I mostly made it because I love the characters' names. It's impossible to not have fun saying their names like the narrator in a prohibition-era newsreel. Think of it like an adventure game where every puzzle has the same solution. But it has TWO endings! Rick and Swing are the heroes America needs. Even if you're not in America, they're still your heroes.

Bonus fun fact just for Patreon members: Swing's name comes from the warning decals on some machinery at the subway stop I used to take for work. Rick's name comes from finding out in college that a wrench is called a spanner in British-English and deciding that there was no way a noir detective did not have that name. Rick has occupied a boozy hard-boiled corner of my mind for many years.
