Billy Masters Was Right
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Nobody believes Billy Masters. He's been accused of taking drugs in high school and accusing his teacher of serious crimes. Sick of his attitude, his parents have imposed a curfew on him until he apologizes to his teacher. Now Billy thinks a sneaky psycho is at work at his neighbors and he will do anything he can to convince the world that, indeed, Billy Masters was right.
Billy Masters Was Right is a short adventure game in a Maniac Mansion graphic style and a plot inspired by movies like "The Burbs" or "Disturbia".

Gracias por el juego, me lo he pasado genial jugándolo
Esté buenísimo, ojalá puedan publicarlo en otros lanzadores como steam para que más gente pueda ver este juegazo. Quizá colocarle un par de logros.
amazing. My new favorite PnC dev. Great going through the back catalogue
Chulísimo! Me he reído mucho. Gracias por estos juegazos!
Thanks for this fun game. :)
No soy Fan d éste tipo d juegos, pero éste igual que todos los juegos d este desarrollador son una reliquia
Nunca he sido amante de las aventuras graficas pero este me ha encantado. Conocí este trabajo a través del podcast de Ms-Dos Club.
Voy a hacer una donación y me descargaré otra aventura de las suyas.
Un saludo
Does this have nudity?
No?
Really great game. Loved the references. 10/10 Well done! :D
Yummy!
Great game! Very immersive. You fully emphatize with Billy. 10/10.
Nice game, but the thing with Brockman feels really out of place in a game like this...
Awesome adventure which feels like "Maniac Mansion". Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:47:17. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
This game is good! But it does have some English grammatical errors.
Excelent to see some retro Graphics Adventures in the SCUMM Style.
w game
i loved this game so much
Would be great to get a physical copy of this. Could setup a kickstarter!
Took me a while to get to actually lay this. Really cool game in the style of early SCUMM games. The English text is a bit off at times, but I love the graphics and the puzzles are sensible. Well done.
My friend and i have inquired about a FRENCH (Francais) patch months and months ago. We was told it was coming but its not ready. We can help translate it for free please contact me at : Mhhoyt1963@gmail.com mention " Billy Masters was right " in your email title and i will answer immediatelly
Looks terrific ! Any mac version on the way ?
Hey there. First of all, pretty good short game! I had fun. Second, I was playing the german translation and noticed during a phone call with Linus (I believe) that it pulled some dialogue from the wrong language. The text was: "Cuando salga, dejaré la batería en el plato donde come Arnold", fortunately I managed to figure out where to find the thing anyway :)
Fixed the wrong text in the german translation. Thanks for playing Billy Masters and reporting the bug!
Whoa, quick response! It's easy to feel motivated to report stuff when their are devs out there who will use them so promptly. Thanks for sharing your creations with us all.
@Postmodern Adventures , we are still waiting for the french (francais) version. Im able to translate it accuratelly since i originally speak french and return the file to you. please contact me at : Mhhoyt1963@gmail.com write "Billy Masters was right" in the email title.
I will reply within 24 hours maximum

Vaya pasada de juegazos que os marcáis... Back to the classics.
Brilliant game :-D I love it. It's so much in style of Maniac Mansion but has a great story on its own. Very fun. I beat it in about an hour.
Me lo he pasado pipa jugándolo. Sorprende por lo increíblemente bien escrito que está, ojalá haya muchas más aventuras por venir; por lo pronto estoy disfrutando también de de Urban Witch Story y me está fascinando su historia y personajes. Tremendo trabajo de @postmoderadventures, os seguiré la pista
Una versión para Mac, please.
Lo puedes echar a andar usando scummvm :)
¿Ah, si? lo probaré. gracias.
Hola :-) Acabo de descargar para jugarlo en mi Mac el juego y ScummVM no me reconoce la carpeta. ¿Cómo lo has hecho? Un saludo y gracias :-)
No hemos podido hacerlo andar con ScummVM. He probado con la versión windows y con la Linux. Nunca reconoce la carpeta. ¿Alguna idea de como hacerlo?
Gracias.
Me encantaría poder jugarlo. Si alguien sabe cómo hacerlo funcionar en Mac se lo agradecería mucho.
Saludos y mil gracias 😃
Me encanta!!! Muy buen trabajo de Postmodern!!
I liked this game! It even reminded me of Zak Mckracken and the alien mindbenders! :D
I really enjoyed your game. Congratulations, it's great! Would you be interested in translating it in Italian? I would do it very happily for free.
Thank you for your words! An italian translation is in the works and it will be launched soon. Stay tuned!
Very good. Next proposal then. I was able to play Billy Masters Was Right on Linux, with a native build of the AGS engine. Would you be interested if I'd send you the Linux version of your wonderful game?
Sorry for the late replay! The Linux version is online now. Since I don't have Linux, I would appreciate it if you (or anyone) could tell me if everything is working properly.
Actually both versions don't seem to be working right now. The Linux one seems to be corrupted or maybe it has a permission issue. Whereas the Windows one is just the Linux one: there are no EXEs! Perhaps for Linux it's better to make a .tar.gz or .tar.xz file. See 7zip: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
My mistake. I uploaded two Linux builds. Try now.
Excellent game. I would like to pay for it. How can I do that?
Wow, thank you so much for this. What a blast I had playing this game, so good!
Thanks a lot for this cool game! It is a great tribute to the genre and games like Maniac Mansion with some innovations I love.
Technically well-made and really funny, too.
Excellent all-round job and translated to different languages.
Hope you create some new point and click adventures and we can contribute somehow to your efforts. Keep on your good job!
El toque de maniac mansion me llamo la atencion para probarlo, pero es que ademas el jugo esta genial! me encanto de veras mis felicitaciones a los programadores , espero que exista mas continuaciones de este juego y incluso lo saqueis en fisico :)
Awesome!!
I see the game in spanish even after selecting the english language. Am I the only one?
edit: I'm having exact same problem with "urban witch story" by the same dev
A very cool little game! Funny dialogues, great atmosphere and fun puzzles. All in all, a really enjoyable travel back to the eighties.
Could you add a .zip option, please?
