8 itemsAbout the Game
The Barker & Mustard Files is a 2D/3D Mystery-Adventure game where you play as a dashingly daring dynamic duo of Dog Detectives by the names of Harvey Barker and Frank Mustard.
Point and click your way through the luxurious Clydesdale Hotel, meet the multitude of suspicious sweeties and dubious degenerates contained within, and solve a wide variety of puzzles on your journey to unravel the mysterious disappearance of the bashful Beaver, Stuart "Flappy" Brown.
It's a tough gig, being a detective. And it's tougher still when nobody gives you the respect you deserve. Harvey and Frank have been pounding the proverbial pavement for years, doing big-time work for small-time pay, only to get credit snatched away by the (sometimes literal) Vultures at the Scarlet City Police Department.
But all of that changed when the case of a lifetime fell right into their laps... along with a couple of trigger-happy, gun-toting thugs. But a little bullet-themed office redecoration courtesy of those two-bit toughs wasn't about to scare Harvey Barker and Frank Mustard off the biggest case (and biggest paycheque) they've ever had...
So grab a good snack, your beverage of choice, and head on down to the Clydesdale Hotel... because it's time to crack this case wide open!
