Our story starts up with said agent arriving late to work and bumping into his Best Friend and partner, Mark Cook, who explains that a “Big Gun from DC is [there].” Following this, you are given a choice of what to say before you are called into your boss, [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Shanks,]] calls you into his study to meet this “Big Gun.” His name is Skinner, and he gives you the task of finding his two missing agents, [[Shmuck Bait|Mulder and Scully...]]

The game has a [[Visual Novel]]-like format, giving you three choices at certain occasions that affect the game play and how people react to you. (A notable example being when you can chose what to say to {{spoiler|X}}, and how he reacts.) These three choices are best described as “The X track” (Answers involving rage and careless responses), “Paranoid” (Answers that are worried or serious), and “Indifferent” (Answers that are apathetic). Depending on which you choose, the game can quickly devolve into a Conga of [[Nightmare Fuel]] and [[Paranoia Fuel]].

 

* [[Agent Mulder]]: Take another look at the trope name.

* [[Agent Scully]]: Not as straight-forward as you might think; Scully is (Quite obviously) this, but so is Wilmore, judging by his reaction to the whole {{spoiler|aliens}} thing...

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Many scenes with Wilmore and Astadorian end in this. Especially after the {{spoiler|explosion where they share their [[First Kiss]].}}

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Why else would Wilmore need the {{spoiler|Stilleto again "soon?"}}

* [[Brown Eyes]]: Wilmore has them. No cool powers, though.

* [[The Charmer]]: Wilmore tries to be this. It's more funny than anything, though.

** [[The Big Guy]]: Fox Mulder

** [[The Smart Guy]]: Diane Scully

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Plenty, {{spoiler|We first see Rouch quite early on, Cook's dialogue is full of it and X gives us a little too. Not to mention the book on aliens in Mulder's room.}}

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: The reason given if you shoot Wilmore is that he's got problems.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: You can turn Wilmore into this.
