About
You may like this if you enjoy dark 1980s satires about greed, politics, and morally shady schemers, especially with a cheesy edge similar to Her Alibi; Not for you if you want big laughs, tight plotting, or polished effects.
Pros: sharp satirical premise; game cast; a few amusing moments | Cons: uneven humor; messy story; dated effects
