About This Game
When a mysterious Commissioner summons the wisecracking detective duo Sam and Max to investigate a disturbance at a traveling carnival, they uncover a case far more complicated than a simple theft. A frozen bigfoot named Bruno and a giraffe-necked woman called Trixie have gone missing, but as the Freelance Police dig deeper, they discover the pair are actually lovers who orchestrated their own escape. What begins as a straightforward recovery mission sprawls into a cross-country road adventure, taking Sam and Max through quirky American roadside attractions and bizarre locations in their hunt to track down the fugitive couple and unravel the truth behind their disappearance.
