Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon

About

Detective Case and Clown Bot in Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is a point-and-click adventure built for players who miss the straightforward puzzle-solving of classic 80s and 90s games. You control a mismatched duo, gruff detective and a mechanical clown, investigating a baffling death at a hotel where a man was stabbed 14 times while sipping coffee. The interface sticks to basics: click objects, characters, and doors to collect items and advance. Every tool stays in your inventory for later use. The story unfolds through dialogue and environmental clues, with a focus on piecing together relationships and red herrings. The game’s charm lies in its deadpan humor and deliberately convoluted mystery. The case involves tangled romances and suspicious guests that feel like a whodunit written by a chaos enthusiast. With a 78% critic score on Steam, players praise the nostalgic simplicity and quirky writing. It runs on PC Windows, Switch, Linux, and Mac, letting you tackle the case on the go or at your desk. The 2013 release date means the jokes land a bit dated, but the puzzles remain crisp and fair.

Storyline

A strange murder has occurred in the Hotel Lisbon, a man committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at the same time he peacefully drank his coffee. This case with contradictory facts was too complex for Policeman Garcia to solve, so he decided to hire the only detective duo in town capable of solving it: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot. Together, they will solve a network of love relations so complex and so intricate, that it would take at least 14 clairvoyants, 5 apocalyptic sect prophets who can predict the end of the world and 3 of those gypsies that can read the palm of your hand just to guess the final outcome.
