About Sam & Max

Sam & Max is the beloved comedy adventure series starring a dog detective and a hyperkinetic rabbity thing, created by Steve Purcell. The duo — Sam, a calm, cynical dog, and Max, his chaotic, violent partner — run the Freelance Police, solving bizarre cases in a world that makes no logical sense. The series is famous for its rapid-fire humor, absurd situations, and sharp satire, with dialogue so dense with jokes that you will miss half of them on the first playthrough. The 1993 point-and-click classic Sam & Max Hit the Road set the template, and Telltale Games revived the series in 2006 with episodic seasons that are now beloved cult classics. The games are pure adventure fare: inventory puzzles, dialogue trees, and unforgettable characters. For fans of comedy games, it is essential.
