Les Manley in: Lost in L.A.
A 1990s point-and-click adventure about a wannabe detective searching for kidnapped Hollywood stars, charmingly weird and deliberately low-budget, but pixel-hunting and obtuse puzzles test your patience.
GamerScout Verdict
For adventure game enthusiasts willing to laugh at outdated design conventions; everyone else should skip it.

About Les Manley in: Lost in L.A.
Les Manley is the kind of adventure game that doesn't take itself seriously. You play as a hapless guy trying to solve a kidnapping mystery by wandering around L.A., talking to out-of-work actors and rock stars, and collecting inventory items that don't always make obvious sense. The humor is corny and deliberately campy, think early 90s comedy adventure meets Saturday morning cartoon logic. The real problem is that it plays like a relic: pixel-hunting hotspots, moon-logic puzzles where the solution has no connection to the setup, and dialogue that's sometimes funny but often just takes up time. If you loved classic LucasArts adventures and don't mind grinding through obtuse design for laughs, there's something here. Otherwise, it's a quaint curio that reveals why point-and-clicks needed better UI design. Worth a try if you're nostalgic for adventure games that were more about personality than playability.
