About the Game

Dick Shortson – The Detective.
You've been hired by a woman to find her missing mother. You've been hired by a woman to find her missing mother. Grab your gun and uncover the secrets hidden in another godforsaken village. Shoot, solve puzzles, and catch the vibe.

This is a first-person shooter inspired by old-school games, where the control system was often your biggest enemy.
Every weapon in the game is deadly — every shot could be your last, or your enemy’s.
Think twice before pulling the trigger. You're not a walking ammo dispenser, and Dick Shortson is far from the best gunslinger — maybe even the worst.

Look around — there might be a way forward that doesn’t involve violence. Or just charge in headfirst.


The game takes place in an old village.
A decaying little vilage — all the young people have long since moved to the cities, leaving behind only the elderly and those not too strong of mind or dependent on various substances. A perfect breeding ground for anyone looking to impose their ideas on others, isn’t it?

So, you want to shoot a bit, think a little, and vibe with stylized graphics? Then this detective adventure is for you.
