Every morning, I put on my thinking cap and my smartiepants. Unfortunately, there is no shirt that properly proclaims my intellectual abilities, so I have to go tits out

"this trans woman CONDONES INCEST!" *looks inside* it's roleplay

"this trans woman is a PEDOPHILE!" *looks inside* this is either entirely baseless or it's roleplay, 70/30

"this trans woman is an ABUSER" *looks inside* she was the one getting abused here actually

thinking about this screenshot from Columbo that makes it look like a 90s point-and-click adventure game

omfg Columbo point and click would be something

You wouldn't be able to leave suspect's house without opening the closet. Dialogue options would be random anecdote about wife, "just one more thing" for umpteenth time, chat about something unrelated and randomly a "solve case" option would pop-up after chatting up the suspect at least five times.

ok I'm still thinking about this but NOBODY GET ANY IDEAS I'm just having fun noodling.

I think it would be fun to have a Columbo game where you're the murderer. In the first half of the game you have to murder someone and there are various ways of doing it, and in the second half of the game you have to answer Columbo's incessant questioning as he picks up on any gaps or oversights in your murder method.

I think there's no way to escape him completely, but the best ending is like the one of the episode Any Port in a Storm where you and Columbo get to share a drink and conversation while you wait for the cops to come take you away.

A few years ago I shared an idea almost exactly this to a more well known indie dev friend of mine (difference being it was a text adventure) and we disagreed about whether or not players would want to play a Columbo game where you don't see Columbo for the first 2-3 hours.

I think players would if you build it up properly, like Alien Isolation :3

#Funny how near identical ideas appear independently like that
