DAY 1 Cuffing up Flemm
December 2042, San Francisco. Private detective Tex Murphy has fallen on hard times after his divorce, spending his free time drinking in the absence of paying clients. After a surprise visit and a slightly demeaning speech from his old mentor, the Colonel, Tex feels just insulted enough to go out and find a job, regardless of size or reward, to prove that he's still as good a PI as ever.

Here begins my walkthrough of the third game in one of my favourite video game series ever, Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon.
This playthrough is fairly exhaustive. I inspect NEARLY everything and to my knowledge collect every available point in the game except one (or two?). I also willingly lose 20 points at a certain area, making this technically not a 1000+ point playthrough, but more about those instances later.
For those unaware, points don't really matter in this game as their only use is to buy hints if you get stuck and I've disabled the hints entirely. The game manual claims that there is a hidden reward for collecting all 1000 points, which is false in two ways: there doesn't appear to be any reward and there are actually more than 1000 points in the game. But it's not the manual that we're here for, is it.
In dialogues I tried to choose the most story/character related, fitting or simply amusing options, except at the start. Having recently watched a bit of somebody else's let's play of the game, I felt compelled to make different choices than that other person at first, but later decided to focus on just making this a fun watch on it's own.
Like pretty much all good adventure games, Under a Killing Moon would be best experienced on your own for the first time. I guess I do understand it if the somewhat archaic control scheme puts you off playing it, though.
