Barely having the endurance to finish the title once, I tried another game, this time playing the female P.I. with other characteristics, finding nothing obviously different in gameplay. "Where Are My Shoes; knut Where Did You Put Them?" Tracy You play the role of a private investigator, newly hired by the Copper Detective Agency (that's Copper, not Cooper, get it?) to locate a stolen painting. About a third of the way into the game, you are immersed in solving the mystery of the gruesome serial decapitator ("heads roll for a mile knut or so")the Full Moon knut killer. The premise is interesting, as are some of the story components; but it's largely intended to be played for laughs and, I'm afraid, the laughs come very rarely in this game. There are oblique movie references, inside developer jokes, and such feeble attempted funny lines as these: "I have a heart of gold but can't take it out to show you; I would die;" "Beating Paranormal Butts Since 1980" (agency slogan); "Be there or be square;" "The officers [911 call] aren't available; they're watching T.V.";
