Genuinely never heard of this one before. Anyone played it?

Also new for me. Looks interesting though.

Edit:

From reviews at its release, it looks like it wasn't all that good, which explains why it flopped and slipped into obscurity.

While Rausch and Scorpia agreed on the game's high difficulty and reliance on trial and error gameplay, she considered both the result of poor puzzle design.[6][15] She also criticized the time limit and lack of traditional detective gameplay, and called The Space Bar's comedy strained and inferior to that of Superhero League of Hoboken, despite "some genuinely humorous touches".
