About

Frownthorpe is an unremarkable town in an unremarkable county.
You are probationary police constable Jack Burton, fresh out of training and eager to succeed.
This is just as well because something very remarkable is about to happen in this unremarkable town.
The first episode of a point and click adventure game inspired by the Police Quest series (albeit with no dead ends or deaths!)
Hope you enjoy it.

AGS Panel Rating

Really good investigative game that conjures up vibes from Police Quest, without the dead ends. The game is made out of self-contained situations that works as chapters and must be solved in order to progress.

Pick of the Month

March 2020

There's no shortage of fan-games oozing with love of the golden classics on AGS. Yet, they are not fairly distributed and some popular series get overlooked over time, such as Sierra's Police Quest. Fortunately, you can count on GOC Games to recapture what made it so special.

Really funny, gets you on sierra style games. Worth playing it.

The best hidden gem I've found in a long while. A great story that left me wanting more. Which I got with chapters 2 & 3.

This is a fine tribute to the Police Quest games. Enjoyable investigation!

A solid game, very reminiscent of the old Sierra titles both in visual style and storytelling/humor. Some minor pixel hunting, but the overall pacing and puzzles were well done. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
