    Continues to be innovative!
    Very cool puzzles and overall solving mechanic in this episode.
    Also, this season so far really feels continuous.
    My favorite ending (?) is here :)

    Ending with a patented twisted ending with a twist, The Tomb of Sammun-Mak is yet another great point & click adventure of the hilarious and bizarre lives of the Freelance Police, to be continued in episode three, They Stole Max's Brain!
