It may seem like a film noir take on the early 2D Grand Theft Auto, but this flash game runs against type.
That’s because, at heart, the Great Red Herring Chase is a typing game. (Against type. Typing game. Ho ho ho.)
To the accompaniment of some moody piano music, you chase crims across town using your typing skills. To turn left, you actually have to type “turn left” or “left” or “hang a left”, depending on what’s shown at the bottom of the screen. Other times you’ll need to “hit it” or “do a u-turn” or even order your catch out of his vehicle.
There are story interludes between each chase sequence and, really, it’s all rather clever and well-produced.
