Never touched Tex Murphy games back in the day, but I still played some FMV stuff, so this gave me pretty good nostalgia vibes.

I remember my brother and I got Under a Killing Moon for Christmas in 1994. I think it was the first game that I had seen on multiple CDs so it kinda blew my mind (I don't count 7th Guest although it had a killer soundtrack on disc 2). UAKM's cheesy MIDI music was hot shit on my new Gravis Ultrasound too, those were the days... These games are so campy and Chris Jones is such a dork next to all the other washed-up old actors, but I can't wait to play the new one.

GOG lists the size of the game as 1.3GB, which is surely a typo. I want to see untold gigabytes of ridiculously wasteful FMV which they certainly seem to be delivering (2K-resolution FMV? Hell yeah, crank that shit up to 11 guys!). I would also like to see a cameo by say, a naked Roberta Williams in a hot tub, maybe getting her head split open by a demon in a drug-induced hallucination while Tex gets attacked by evil German werewolves... Long live FMV!

it's a real shame FMV petered out just before DVDs became economical. It would have been a real boon to people like Tex and Tim Curry. I wonder why we haven't had a revival since.

Wait...was that an Atlus logo?

Ok, I am sure that this fills my quote of B movie tropes for the year, I am in.
