The Diary of a Roadie by Common Colors

Waking up in a pool of your own (at least you hope it’s your own) vomit is never a good start to the day. When you are a roadie who is already supposed to be setting up for the band, it can be even more brutal. Unfortunately, you seem to have ended up with the lead singer’s backstage pass instead of yours, and the doorman won’t let you in. If only you could reconstruct your activity from the night before, you might be able to find your own pass and get on with the job.

Presented in moderately pixelated 2.5D, this is a game with its tongue planted firmly in cheek. Using only the mouse, you’ll explore the back of the club and the nearby street. Successfully locating someone who can hint at what you did last night switches the action to that scenario, allowing you to play out that night yourself. Clues garnered from the day after will give you some guidance as to what you need to do, though you will still need to chat with everyone and get inventive with your inventory. There is also a reasonably challenging pixel hunt, though the multiple matching items are relatively easy to spot once you’ve located the first. With references to heavy drinking and other adult themes, this is probably not a game for the young or easily offended.
