''[[The X-Files Game]]'' is an interactive movie point-and-click adventure video game based on the TV series ''[[The X-Files]]'', developed by HyperBole Studios and published by Fox Interactive in 1998, based on ''[[The X-Files]]''. It is notable because it doesn’t feature [[Agent Mulder]] and [[Agent Scully]] as the protagonists. (They were working on [[The Movie]] at the time.) Instead it features a [[Deadpan Snarker]] Seattle FBI agent named Craig Wilmore.
 
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...]]
Line 14 ⟶ 15:
* [[Bad End]]: If you do the wrong thing at stake outs or don't react quickly enough, but also if you shoot people or act irresponsibly. (Ahem, Astadorian...)
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Why else would Wilmore need the {{spoiler|Stilleto again "soon?"}}
* [[Bring Me My Brown Pants]]: A good idea. The Soundtrack alone is terrifying [[Your Mileage May Vary|to some.]]
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Wilmore has them. No cool powers, though.
* [[The Charmer]]: Wilmore tries to be this. It's more funny than anything, though.
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Fox Mulder
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Diane Scully
* [[For Thethe EvulsEvulz]]: And the money. {{spoiler|But Cook's so jaded that he seems to enjoy giving his old best friend a completely undeserved beatdown.}}
* [[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.}}
* [[Four-Philosophy Ensemble]]: Wilmore's the realist, Scully's the Cynisist, Mulder's the Idealist and Cook's Apathetic.
