About this game

In Dempsey & Makepeace, Dempsey has two hours to locate and rescue Makepeace, who has been captured somewhere in London. Players explore buildings from a third-person perspective, examining, collecting, and using objects through an icon-based interface.

Clues can be reported to Spikings by telephone to increase the score. Alongside the rescue, the game features three additional crimes to solve, top-down shooting sequences against armed criminals, and driving sections between buildings. Crashing the car costs time as Dempsey must find another vehicle.
