Tex Murphy Overseer

Tex Murphy: Overseer is the fifth installment in the Tex Murphy series of graphic adventure games developed by Access Software and published by Night Drive Studios. In it, the player controls Private Investigator Tex Murphy as he recounts the story of his first case to his girlfriend, Chelsee Bando. Like the previous two Tex Murphy games, Under a Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive, Overseer combined the use of full motion video (FMV) with 3D environments. Overseer continued the use of the Tex series’ unique method of dialogue selection. Instead of providing you with a list of responses showing the exact words that Tex will say, each dialogue choice is given an adequate description. Never knowing exactly what Tex will say when you select an option helps to keep the dialogue surprising, and often funny. The game provides two difficulty settings: Entertainment mode and Gamer mode. In Entertainment mode, hints are available and you could bypass certain puzzles in the game. A total of 1,500 points are available in Entertainment mode. In Gamer mode, no hints are available and puzzles could not be bypassed. However, you receive bonus points if you solve certain puzzles within a set amount of time. A total of 4,000 points were available on Gamer mode.
