Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon
A 1994 adventure game about a wise-cracking detective in a dystopian 2042, rebuilt and re-released by Nightdive Studios with FMV acting and pixel-art adventure gameplay that hasn't aged as gracefully as the humor.
GamerScout Verdict
For adventure game veterans who appreciate 90s camp; skip it if you need modern production values or tight puzzle design.

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: Under a Killing Moon
Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon is a full-motion video adventure game where you play a down-on-his-luck private eye navigating a cyberpunk future stuffed with conspiracies, aliens, and B-movie nonsense. The appeal here is straightforward: campy writing, real actors in cheap costumes, and dialogue trees that let you sass your way through scenes. Point-and-click exploration and inventory puzzles make up the bulk of the gameplay, which is functional but dated. The puzzles aren't punishing, and the story moves fast enough to keep you interested even when the production values make you squint. This is exactly what it promises: 1990s adventure gaming with a comedy tone that still lands. It's short, weird, and harmless. If you grew up with Sierra adventure games and don't mind laughing at rather than with the production, grab it. Everyone else should probably skip it.
