Basics:

That Night Before is a graphical
point and click adventure game that
was finished completely in 2005 by
Scurvyliver Productions, the same
company who brought you Fate of 
Monkey Island, and is separate into 
4 parts.

Story:

Have you ever wanted to play a nice 
suspenseful serious Hitchcock adventure 
game? Yes? Well, too bad because this 
game takes its Hitchcock roots as 
seriously as it takes everything else.
You play the role of Ron Halloway, 
an 18 year old man who wakes up 
with amnesia. He can't remember 
what happened the night before, or 
what happened to his girlfriend, and he 
sets out to try to find out. He looks at the 
tavern, at the park, and at her house, but 
no sign of her is found. He follows the 
clues, and eventually comes across a sinister 
conspiracy involving a four million dollar 
inheritance, ending up way over his head 
and framed for his girlfriends disappearance. 
Will you help him get through this Hitchcock 
spoof?

Game play:

The Game play in the game is quite easy, 
and in a fun game, it's important to keep 
things like the GUI nice and neat. The 
interface is completely original, and the music
is top notch. The graphics in the game are 
reminiscent of shows like The Simpsons and 
Futurama, and borrow heavily from their brand 
of comedy. The characters in the game all spoof 
various film noir movies, staying funny throughout 
the whole game. The puzzles start out easy but 
get much harder as you progress, bringing a 
challenge to anyone who wants one. Unfortunately, 
you might have to deal with a couple pixel hunts 
on your journey, but fortunately, none of them are 
too serious, just like the game. A couple other 
minor problems are the games few little spelling 
errors and a hotspot bug where it shows two 
hotspots at once. Other than that, there thankfully
isn't anything majorly wrong with the game.

Overall:

I played this game for a long time, but I never 
actually finished it. I am sorry I wasn't able to 
make a long enough review to suit it, but I will 
do it justice by giving it a 4, it’s a good game, 
not deserving of a 5 but good in its own right,
it has a lot of funny moments and good plot 
elements, I recommend it to any fan of movies 
that spoof other movies.
