Reception[]
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "Unfortunately, there just isn't much game to hang it on. A click or two every 10 minutes does not balance out the hole it'll leave in your checkbook. Even with its alternate endings and intriguing story, you'd probably be better off renting The Big Sleep (the Bogart version, not Mitchum)."[1]
