Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Tex Murphy: Overseer
I went in expecting a straightforward whodunit, and Overseer delivers exactly that. You're Tex Murphy, a noir detective taking on a case that starts with a dead millionaire and a suspicious daughter. The game lives or dies by its dialogue system and investigation mechanics, where you talk to suspects, gather clues, and piece together what actually happened. It's all clicking hotspots, reading dialogue, and following threads. The writing is earnest enough to carry you through, and there's a real mystery to solve rather than a predetermined ending. What works is the focus. No combat, no padding, just investigation and conversation. What doesn't is that the whole experience is pretty lean by modern standards, which honestly suits a niche detective game. If you loved the original Tex Murphy games or you're starved for straightforward point-and-click mysteries, this scratches that itch. But if you're looking for production values or voice acting spectacle, keep walking.
