About this game Read the full description

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!

Created by a team of comedy film veterans behind Hapstance Films, A Rum Case in Fogtown features a voice cast of renowned adventure game actors such as Lenval Brown (narrator of Disco Elysium), Cissy Jones (the BAFTA-winning actress who played Delilah in Firewatch), Dean Erickson (Gabriel Knight from The Beast Within), Paul Morgan Stetler (Curtis Craig in Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh), and Rupert Booth (Inspector Jenks from Contradiction)

FEATURES:

  • Elaborate hand-crafted backgrounds and puppets

  • Loving homage to the world of Sherlock Holmes

  • Zany, fast-paced antics unlike any FMV game you've played

  • A prequel to the Fogtown TV series (which has a pilot episode on YouTube now!)

  • Unlockable achievements for multiple story paths — even the ones where you didn't achieve much of anything!
