Mr. Gilbert finds himself in exactly the same situation as so many private detectives who came before him. Poor, lonesome PI with money problems: check. Dark, forbidding city filled with Really Nasty People: check. Rich mysterious dame comes in with a job for you: check. Job requires searching for a missing person: check. Episode 1 (Feb) Gilbert gets a minimum of information about the girl his mysterious rich benefactor, Miss Malaguard, hires him to find. All he has is a picture, a name (Daphne) and the tip that she works as a waitress at the Trembling Stars. As clichéd as this premise might seem, however, Mr. Gilbert is not your average detective. He looks very much like an octopus: purple-colored and with tentacles for hands or feet. Gilbert is not the only strange creature in this adventure either. You will also meet a hellteeth (a dangerous dragon-like creature) and a very freaky and dangerous dog, amongst others. The nameless dark city setting is presented in static pseudo-first-person pixel art, drawn in shades of grey as befits its obvious noir influences. In his search for Daphne, Gilbert will visit a half-friendly bouncer in front of a shady pub, a rich man in his posh house, a sneaky and dangerous lawyer in a casino, and many more interesting places and characters, some of whom try to kill him, while others help him for their own reasons. Episode 2 (Mar), Episode 3 (Apr), Episode 4 (May). | ||
