Dirty Split is a point & click adventure game in which you direct a private investigator, Alan Baxter. You’ll accompany him on his investigations and help him to do his job and to solve the case. You’ll travel alongside Baxter through the wild world of the early 1960ies, and together you’ll visit the sparkling life in Los Angeles, the exciting events in Las Vegas and many more places. In conversations with a variety of interesting characters both Baxter and you will come closer to the truth step by step. (taken from the official manual)
The graphics, the soundtrack and the voice acting of “Dirty Split” are amongst the best ones you’ll find in the freeware sector. The game also has an interesting story and you won’t guess the solution of the mystery right from the start.

Another thing that really makes Dirty Split enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Dirty Split. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
