The Case of the Dark Strangler

THE CASE OF THE DARK STRANGLER

The Dark Strangler has been killing the victims of the bizarre "black lightning incident," and the cops refuse to do anything about it...

It's up to private investigator Magnum Johnson to save the day, aided by his trusty companion Gizmo!

Fly your hat around! Shoot homing missiles! Replace most of the oxygen in a room with lead! All that matters is that justice is served!

CW: Writing about suicide, body horror, a really scary lookin image of the dark strangler, and other such frightful things.

Made in roughly 7 days for Devzone's Bootleg Jam 2025.

This game is based on Schwarzerblitz by Andrea Demetrio, though very little of the source material leaked through. This game is lethally tongue-in-cheek, hence the indie voice acting and psychotic tonal inconsistency.

Thanks to:

• Holly, who voiced both Gizmo and The Dark Strangler
• Andrea, for putting so much passion into a setting just for me to butcher it
• Devzone, for being such a great community
• Felipe Di Poi, for the detective video that informed Magnum's writing
• MDK for existing, it was my muse during the making of this
• The Dark Strangler, who provided his likeness for this project
