Sam & Max are back in full force today. Or more accurately, Sams & Max, as this time there's a whole army of undies-sporting canine shamuses running loose in Beyond the Alley of the Dolls.

In this penultimate episode of The Devil's Playhouse, the Freelance Police find themselves in a boarded-up Stinky's Diner fighting off hordes of mindless Sam clones, and the day only gets worse from there. Once free, it's off to locate the mastermind of this dastardly clone army (no, it's not George Lucas), making brief forays to the afterlife, other dimensions, and the top of a historic landmark along the way. Better yet, it all leads to a dramatic cliffhanger ending that is sure to give you nightmares until next month's finale (if the image of Sam in briefs hasn't already done that).



As with the previous episodes, Beyond the Alley of the Dolls is available today for PC and Mac exclusively as part of the full season bundle from the official website. The episode will be released on the PlayStation Network in North America later today, and in Europe tomorrow.
