Tony Tough in A Rake's Progress

Tony Tough in
A Rake's Progress

A dive into Tony Tough's past. Too bad it was an empty pool!

The first investigation is never forgotten

In the small town of Washington (New Mexico), little Tony Tough is just a child. But this won't stop him!
A mysterious murder that nobody believes; ancient Mexican curses; an intricate case that only little Tony seems to see and that he intends to solve.

A very different adventure from the previous one, Tony Tough ™ in A Rake's Progress is a project based on the work of William Hogarth "A Rake's Progress".
The titles of the 8 boards have inspired the narrative structure of this point-and-click adventure created by a completely different team compared to Roasted Moths.

The player helps Tony by going over the events that intersect over a few days, reconstructing a story full of mystery and bloody magic. Or maybe not?!

In 2007 "Tony Tough™ in A Rake's Progress" was selected by the Tate Gallery in London and included in a retrospective on William Hogarth, among the works inspired by the artist's work.

Tony Tough™ in A Rake's Progress had many problems in the production phase. This penalized the creative and technical realization of the game, which also had a limited distribution.

You can play this title.. it takes patience!
