In a bustling, futuristic metropolis where tech-savvy criminals and gadget-obsessed enthusiasts reside, you play as Max Gearloose, an overly confident detective whose knack for stumbling into trouble is only matched by his ever-growing collection of stolen advanced gadgets. When a rogue AI begins to steal the city's most prized equipment and starts framing you for their crimes, it’s up to you to navigate through eccentric characters, undercover setups, and one ridiculous heist after another to clear your name. Solve bizarre puzzles, engage in witty banter, and make clever choices that could either save or doom the city (and your reputation), as you decipher 'Whose Gear Is It Anyway?'
