Remember when you got out of college and had no idea what to do with your life? Did you ever consider becoming a paranormal investigator? Well Ben Jordan did. His adventures have taken him to Florida, California, Scotland, England, Japan, Greece, and Italy, where he has encountered various paranormal phenomenon. Fortunately, Ben was created using AGS so you can tag along on his adventures in preparation for the final epsiode. posted by dortmunder (16 comments total)

I don't know about the quality of this, but it looks to be right up the alley of my Gabriel Knight lovin' self.
And fwiw, I wanted to be a paranormal investigator during and after college. posted by charred husk at 9:52 AM on March 25, 2011

It's rough around the edges in some places, but the games get better (and darker) as they go along. It's a labor of love, not a commercial product, but they're still fun. posted by dortmunder at 9:57 AM on March 25, 2011

Just like with economists and political scientists, it's done for gravitas.
Can't play this at work, but I'm really hoping it's like an X-Files-y Phoenix Wright posted by Hoopo at 11:05 AM on March 25, 2011
Ooohhh ... awesome. This is the kind of stuff that makes me glad to have a free weekend. posted by Amanojaku at 12:45 PM on March 25, 2011
where he has encountered various paranormal phenomenon ignored basic principles of legitimate science so he can interpret perfectly explicable natural phenomena as OOO SPOOKY, because that's way more fun.
