Hugh Bowman PI is an arcade puzzle game that draws inspiration from
Impossible Mission and Film Noir.


HOW TO PLAY

After meeting your client you break into Professor Von Sparks
base. The patrol bots won't bother you once you are inside
one of the buildings.

When in there - search the items in the building. If there is
something contained within, it will go into your held items.
Use the mouse to select an item to find out more about it.

By default you can use SPACE to search and ENTER to use an
object (e.g. a key or a donut). Some items must be used via
Von Sparks electronic phone system. This includes the robot
freeze cards and the lift reset cards.

Once you have gathered enough clues you can enter some words
into the phone. If you are close then you will told how close
you are. The game looks for keywords - and these do not need
to be whole space separated words. So you can either just
type which words you think are right or a whole sentence
if you prefer.

Good luck!
