Now here’s a game that overstays its welcome. The nadir of the Police Quest series, yes, worse than 4. The stupid “plotting addresses” “puzzle” stymied me when I first played this as a teenager and the game languished until I figured out the precise subpixel you have to click on many, many years later. Though the first half of the game is decent, the second half falls apart. Walking dead scenarios and moon logic about. I almost flipped out when, after *SPOILER ALERT* booking the cult book as evidence like you do with every single other piece of evidence, you need that specific thing to get a warrant a few game days later . . . which you’ll never know until you get to this point. What a poorly designed game.
