For ten years, diminutive private detective Tony Tough has been chasing down the mystery behind stolen Halloween candy. Now his purple companion, a tapir named Pentagruel, has apparently been kidnapped by the psychopathic candy-stealer, and it's up to you to help solve the case in Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths, a 2D point-and-click animated adventure. The non-linear plot contains 61 levels, 45 characters, a bonus level, and 95 available save slots.

Night of Roasted Moths offers two difficulty settings, easy and advanced, with the former containing several pre-solved puzzles. Having failed in his dream to marry Yoko Ono and become an NBA star, Tony concentrates his efforts on solving logic puzzles and interacting with characters through a system involving a vast dialogue tree, descriptions, messages and inscriptions. Game options include adjustments for movement speed, length of time dialogue is displayed, and a hidden or pop-up inventory, as well as the capability to play in "sepia" mode to simulate old-time movie effects. ~ Michael L.
