ACG writes: "When Chris Jones and Aaron Conners from the now defunct Access Software announced the development of a new game in late 2008, expectations from adventure fans were high. It was back in 1989 when the once successful developer released Mean Streets, the first adventure game to feature the hardboiled, bourbon drinking, and cynical gumshoe Tex Murphy (played by Jones himself). After Martin Memorandum, the developer released Under a Killing Moon-an ambitious but also the bestselling game in the series, featuring Full Motion Video and 3D Virtual World. This was followed by another worthy sequel, The Pandora Directive. Unfortunately, Tex Murphy: Overseer, released in 1998, was to be the last game for the series. Now, more than a decade later, the legacy of Access Software would live on in a new game production company founded by Jones and Conners themselves-Big Finish Games, and their company's first release-Three Cards to Midnight."
From the review: "In 2007, Aaron Conners and Chris Jones returned to the world of gaming as Big Finish Games. The creative minds behind the Tex Murphy series have since released their first title as BFG, Three Cards to Midnight - a psychological point-and-click puzzle game. Does the game live up to expectations though? Read on to find out."
Big Finish Games has released a demo for their adventure title Three Cards to Midnight, now available for download.
Three Cards to Midnight is the debut release from Big Finish Games, a new studio that's stacked with veteran talent, including many of the designers who helped to create the Tex Murphy series of adventure games. Three Cards to Midnight itself is more of an adventure / hidden object hybrid, with a unique way of searching for objects and a thrilling, mature story to go along with it.
