About
Sam the Detective is a scrapped character for A Hat in Time who would have appeared in The City of Calcite and Adventure. As his name implies, he is a detective.
There exists footage where he used an extremely early Mustache girl model, and he was called the "Ruthless Detective". In later prototype footage, he used a model of Hat Kid called "Hat Kid Greg".[1]

Remnants
In the files of the Prototype, Alpha, Beta, Speedrunning Event Build, the Full Game (and others), there is a unused Class file called "Hat_NPC_Detective". When you summon in with the developer console (if the class is re-enabled), it looks exactly how it looked in the early footage, being the "Hat Kid Greg" model, physics and animations.

Trivia
- Sam's concept art was revealed in Luigi Lucarelli's DeviantArt in January 2013, before the Kickstarter started for AHiT.
- "Hat Kid Greg" isn't the only early Hat Kid model that has been found. The earliest model of Hat Kid is "hatkidnew", which is found in the Goboiano Prototype files and is dated December 8 2012.
