Hello there, gumshoe. Fedora Spade's the name. I'm a dick. What? No, not figuratively. The lady across the street might argue otherwise, but I digress. Anyway, I'm a detective, a homicide detective to be exact. I didn't grow up wanting to be a detective, mind you. I hated the cops & robbers game... the other kids always forced me to play the bad guy and gave me a good ass-kicking whenever I was caught. Not a very pleasant childhood memory, yeah? But that's beside the point. I wanted to be an astronaut. I just thought that it'd be neat to explore space, see? But it never happened, as you can probably tell. Math and physics... I can't say that they're my favorite subjects. Plus, watching the challenger explode into a big firework is pretty traumatizing.

So why did I become a homicide detective, you ask? Well, apparently it's the only job that's available for me here. Crime's rampant here in Lawless City, and dead bodies continue to crowd the streets. They need people to combat crime, expendable people; preferably people that aren't too bright in the head. People with a diploma in sociology, or psychology, or some other I-just-want-to-graduate-quickly major. People from third-rate universities who can't seem to find a decent job. People like me. It's dangerous work, but it sure beats flipping burgers. Or is it? I don't know... it's too late for regret now.

Anyway, gumshoe, I've had my fill of bourbon tonight, and I'm in the mood to talk. Why don't you sit tight and lend me a pair of listening ears, eh?

DONATIONS TO ORCHARD-L:

If you like the game and would like to show your support for the developers, I encourage you to send donations via Paypal. Working on games, while fun, is a very time-consuming process. For someone who works seven days a week, time can be a very precious commodity. For the record, I really don't mind having to settle with shorter sleeping hours, but I think it'd be great if I can get a small amount of money out of it to make ends meet. Any amount of money is fine. I'll accept whatever generousity you wish to offer. In exchange for your generosity, errr... I guess we'll be best friends forever or something (In addition of being credited as a donator in the donator's page, of course.) This could be the beginning of a new friendship!
