About There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight

Step into the shoes of the suave secret agent Franklin Benjamin in this single-player spy thriller interactive novel. Drive fast cars, charm beautiful women, and do whatever it takes to save the world from a madman against impossible odds. Because there's always a madman, and you're the best agent we've got!

How is There's Always a Madman: Fight or Flight connected to A Weekend in Puzzleburg?

The character of fictional secret agent Franklin Benjamin first originated in A Weekend in Puzzleburg where you can view a few scenes from his spy film "Always Say Always" on the hotel room TV's channel 10. There are a few other instances where he comes up in the game, including the actor's biography and the "Always Say Always" in-game video game item that you can acquire. I like to think that There's Always a Madman is representative of how the "Always Say Always" video game item in A Weekend in Puzzleburg would play

For further details on the connection between these two games, please refer to this company blog post: Is there any connection between A Weekend in Puzzleburg and There's Always a Madman?.

Does this mean that development for A Weekend in Puzzleburg has ended?

Not necessarily! I'm planning a free content update for the game at some yet-to-be-determined point.
