Sam & Max 305: The City That Dares Not Sleep (2010)

Sam & Max 305: The City That Dares Not Sleep is the fifth and final episode of the third Sam & Max season, Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse. It follows the events of the fourth episode, after Max is transformed into a giant monster and Sam has to save his friend.

In this conclusion, the player meets a few characters from the first two seasons who had not appeared yet, and does not get access to Max’s psychic powers. The gameplay is similar to earlier seasons: the player walks through levels, collects items, and uses them to solve puzzles.

Dialogues use a ring menu similar to Mass Effect, where the player chooses only the topic. Sam is moved by holding the left mouse button and dragging the mouse, or with the keyboard, and interactions with items or people use a single mouse button.

At initial release, single episodes were not available for purchase. Users had to buy all five episodes together as they were released on a monthly basis.
