You take the most important step towards unlocking the next mystery - opening and closing the office door. Light shines between the buildings of New Bug York through the slats in the blinds, illuminating a dame with legs all the way up to her thorax. She's got a mystery that only the best investigator in the city can solve, because you paid off a guy to cut the power on all your competition. What will lie at the end of this case? Who did the thing that you're being paid to figure out?

It's a tough job, but you're a tough fly.

No more errors encountered, just a very cute experience. More P.I. Fly cases please, thank you. :) Bzzzzzzz 

Got an error after putting together a... thing - 

___________________________________________

############################################################################################

ERROR in

action number 1

of Create Event

for object oDialog:

ds_list_size argument 1 incorrect type (undefined) expecting a Number (YYGI32)

at gml_Object_oDialog_Create_0

############################################################################################

gml_Object_oDialog_Create_0 (line -1) 

Also, didn't get any counter for finding the pieces of the thing that needs to be put together. 

Closing & starting the game again did eventually allowed me to finish the case. 

Do you know if you closed and relaunched sometime before hitting the crash the first time? I suspect there's save loading issues in some cases. Or did the crash happen without ever closing?

Oh, the crash was after relaunching the game one time.

thanks! This is very helpful.
