Awesome game! If I were a member of Steam I would vote, and get my friends (read: I wish I had some) to, as well. Please continue!
Detective Butler: Maiden Voyage Murder is the first game in the Detective Butler series. Originally released in 2013, we've added various improvements to the re-release for its Steam Greenlight Campaign
In 1962, a popular cruise ship goes out of business after the accidental deaths of two of its passengers. The ship remains a tourist attraction, until it sets sail again half a century later.
The CEO of a wealthy company takes his closest employees and son Gilligan on board for the maiden voyage. Gilligan happens to meet Detective Butler during the cruise, and as the two of them delve deeper into the ship's history, another incident occurs… Will Detective Butler find the culprit before it's too late?
