Description

Join the Freelance Police on a bizarre adventure from the North Pole to the Fountain of Youth, from outer space to Hell and back.

Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space is a remastered version of Telltale’s second season of episodic Sam & Max games, lovingly updated by a small team of the original developers. Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a nose for justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years.

In this five-episode collection of interconnected cases, Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire. And then things get even weirder.

Is paranoid shopkeeper Bosco on to something with his talk of a grand conspiracy? Is diner proprietress Stinky hiding the truth about what happened to her grandfather (also named Stinky)? Will flaky neighbor Sybil Pandemik ever find true love? Did someone say… BIRTHDAY?!

Hop into the DeSoto for a hilarious outing that won IGN’s Adventure Game of the Year award the first time around and now looks and sounds better than ever, with gorgeous HD graphics, overhauled lighting and lip-sync, finessed cinematography, remastered audio, and eight all-new musical tracks featuring live jazz musicians.

Zombies will dance. Mariachis will sing. A giant battle robot will trash the streets. And when their friends’ lives are on the line, Sam and Max will risk their very souls to set things right.

Features:

  • An adventure game that makes you laugh: Explore unexpected places, chat with eccentric characters, and tease out brain-tickling puzzles in an interactive story that has a joke hiding behind every hotspot.

  • Beautifully remastered: Lighting, lip-sync, cinematography, audio, music, and more have been updated and enhanced to bring Sam & Max’s second episodic season up to modern standards.

  • No walkthrough required: The game detects when you’re stuck and provides subtle contextual hints. Hint frequency can be customized to accommodate all playing styles.

  • Optional driving mini-games: Take the wheel of Sam & Max’s 1960 DeSoto convertible for fun diversions from the story. The hood decals and car upgrades you win carry over across episodes.

  • Localization: English voice with subtitles in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.

Good game. Had a very strong opening episode but afterwards I become less and less engaged with each subsequent episode - it probably have to do with some of the puzzles being too cryptic and the story-beats being...

In this day and age, finding an amazing point-and-click adventure that is also funny is extremely rare. I am so incredibly lucky that I have managed to find this gem. Even if you are stuck, the game can give you enough

If you liked the first game you'll like this one, it just continues the story after the last case in the previous game, and both the story and the solution to the puzzles are wackier than ever. Thats probably the only

This is (intermittently) the most irritating of the Telltale installments. Episode 4 is shockingly fair, considering the company it keeps. Episode 5 is infuriating. I guess it all averages out to irritating. A few of

I loved the concept of this game, it felt more fleshed out and cohesive than the first game. The levels were unique and funny. However, I found there were much bigger leaps needed to solve the puzzles which added a
