Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse - Episode 4: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls

This is a "point-and-click" adventure game in which players control private detectives, a wily dog named Sam and a sarcastic rabbit called Max, through a comical episode of mystery case-solving. Players encounter several irreverent characters that make jokes about a "kinky Bizarro Santa Clause," the "biological compatibility" of a woman and a giant cockroach, and having a "mind like a steel tramp." Some lines of dialogue also reference male strippers, showgirls, and forbidden love affairs (e.g., "Sam and I have been carrying on a torrid love affair for years!"). Characters sometimes mention alcohol (e.g., "Float like a liquored up chimpanzee . . .") and bathroom humor (e.g., "[M]y true name sounds disturbingly like our term for number two" and "It spells out my second favorite bodily excretion"). Phrases such as "b*tchin'" and "half-a*sed" also are heard in the game. An opening cutscene depicts characters shooting at unseen enemies through diner windows.
