     Blues and Bullets is an unfinished episodic adventure game, of which only two out of a promised five episodes were ever released. While it received generally positive reviews, the game did not sell very well, and the developer, A Crowd of Monsters, folded in 2016. The game takes place in an alternate history where Elliot Ness retired to run a diner called "Blues and Bullets", in which he serves the most delicious blueberry pie. Of course, he gets dragged back in for one last case, working together with an aging Al Capone and an affable mob enforcer who studied cooking in prison and wants to learn the secret behind Ness' delicious blueberry pie. While the game was never finished - and we will never learn the resolution to the mystery - it features some interesting game design and cool aesthetics, which I think are worth showing off. Just be prepared that the ending will be frustrating. It will be ... like blue bullets in your heart.

Thank you  Now, for some audience participation: Should I play Ness as kind and forgiving or as a real hard-rear end?

Someone on Youtube asked if there had been any attempt to finish the story elsewhere. For the record, this is the last update the developers made about the game: There was never an official cancellation, but I think it's unlikely we will ever get any follow-up by now.

berryjon posted:Last update 7 years ago? Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. And we're done the first chapter already? That's a short intro. Hopefully the other chapter is longer. Oh, no, this was only the introduction to the first episode. We still have about two thirds of the episode left, and then there is the second episode. I expect the LP to be about a dozen videos in total. SimonChris fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Aug 7, 2023 |

Episode 1 - Part 3 - The Murder Investigation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxFakPqwzwg We're back, with a video showing off the neat investigation system! While I like the system, I do wish the actual events being investigated were a bit less over-the-top. I would love to see this approach used in a more gritty, down-to-earth detective game.

Episode 1 - Part 4 - Episode Finale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fc6_wKdf44 Since the latest episode was delayed, here is a shorter bonus update, finishing Episode 1. This episode is 50% ending credits, but they are good and interesting credits, so I recommend watching them all the way through.
