Dear Telltale Games:
First of all, "The City That Dares Not Sleep" was a fantastic episode - it made me cry, which is personally a first for me, and felt like an excellent ending to a brilliant series. (Although I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that you
will continue to make Sam & Max games.)
However, I'm
also sure that I'm not alone in the disappointment I felt over the lack of a musical number in this episode. Musical numbers are a Sam & Max tradition. In every adaptation of the duo's adventures, there's been one; even back in the comics. ("Manatee, sweet manatee..."

)
I can understand the supposed reasoning behind not having a proper song and dance routine in this season. After all, it was much darker than previous instalments of the franchise, and the episodes grew progressively more serious until the emotional finale. A silly musical number like "Good For You (Good For Me)" would have felt out of place, possibly tacky and forced, detracting from the more serious tone of The Devil's Playhouse.
But that doesn't change the fact that musical numbers are as much a part of Sam & Max as the fights over the phone or Sam's "Holy...!" exclamations. It's a tradition that many fans were disappointed by the abandoment of for season three, as we were expectantly waiting for it with each episodes release.
You can make amends by releasing a
belated musical number, perhaps as a special bonus track with the release of the soundtrack. I don't think it honestly matters what it is, as long as someone, somehow, is singing a song from Sam & Max. (Ooh, alliteration.) Personally, I would like an arrangement of the Toybox Song from The Penal Zone. We love the toybox...
Oh, yeah, I...uh, I have your family. If you do not comply, I will be forced to...to do something very unpleasant to them. Probably torture, I dunno. So...yeah. You have as long as you feel like it to meet my demands.
