About

When Tessy LaFemme goes missing, her friend Tracker McDyke must put her detective skills to use and scour The Castro in San Francisco to track her down.

This graphic adventure mystery game puts the player in the role of the detective. Its gameplay is presented through a mix of a point-and-click interface and a text parser. The player can click on items in the main game screen to interact with them. Verb icons give the player extra ways to interact, and some of these require the player to type what they want to do.

An edited version was released under the title Murder on Main Street due to concerns a publisher would refuse to accept an LGBT-themed game. This version was released for free as charityware; the author requested that players donate to AIDS charities if they enjoyed the game.
