Jimi Hendrix reflects on the details of Jimi Hendrix's death. Credit: Benjamin Penney
The victim is Jimi Hendrix. The police chief is Jimi Hendrix. The secretary is Jimi Hendrix. The mortician is Jimi Hendrix. The fishmonger is Jimi Hendrix. And you, detective Jimi Hendrix, have a mystery to solve in The Jimi Hendrix Case, a quick point-and-click adventure made for the latest Monthly Adventure Game jam.MAG hosts a game jam for amatuer developers to get goofy with the beloved point-and-click formula. This jam's theme was just "Hendrix," and required that the game-making participants name one of their characters after the legendary musician. They also had to incorporate a fish in some way. Benjamin Penney and K. Williams took that rule to the next level, going full on Being John Malkovich and inhabiting an entire sleuthy world with Jimi Hendrixes (Hendri?), and one of them is dead. DEAD.It's short but free, and the pixel work is a treat in itself. The Hendrix in game form is just as gaunt and mysterious as your first year roommate's poster promised he was. The game includes mystery solving, number puzzles, and even some shootouts! Can you find Jimi Hendrix's killer? Why, it could be Jimi Hendrix, or what about Jimi Hendrix? What if it was Jimi Hendrix behind it all? This could go all the way up to the top, all the way to Jimi Hendrix!
