The 1-Upper: Bow Street Runners

'ello, Guv'ner

I stumbled across Bow Street Runners a week or so ago, and I'm hooked. I used to love the old point and click adventure games, and this mixes live action, elements from those old games, and historically accurate (from what I can tell) live action. Great music and sound effects don't hurt, either.

Bow Street Runners pops you into the role of a Bow Street Runner, a member of an 18th-century London police force. In your role, you'll be tasked with solving the murder of a well-to-do socialite who was about to give his fortune away to a tart he fell in love with. It'll take a keen eye and good deduction skills to figure it out. And, from the looks of it, there will be more episodes coming soon, so sign up and get solving!

Go play Bow Street Runners here.
