April 2025

A great Point 'n Click Adventure that definetly deserves more recognition. It has his own sense of humor - special but entertaining and charming nontheless. Is it a Classic PnC Adventure like Deponia, Day of the Tentacle or Edna/Harvey? By no means. But it is still worth a shot. The Humor is supposed to be obvious and the main Charakter is supposed to be unhelpful, so you are forced to combine things randomly to progress.

Solid game, I can't really say anything bad about it and it is probably the most underrated point and click games I have played. I have pretty much never seen it recommended or as part of top point and click lists. I randomly picked it up in a bundle with having never heard of it before. It has a very Monkey Island style flow and has a lot of Monkey Island style humor. There is a bit of moon logic, but generally the puzzles are pretty fair. Most of the puzzles will click if you examine the item or talk to a specific character, but others you may have to brute force or look up a solution. Voice acting, artwork, and animation are all very good. The voice acting especially is much better than I expected. I would say this is a must play and while maybe not in the top spot it would be in the in the top twenty for modern point and click games.

A game that seems to be inspired by Curse of Monkey Island, one of my favourite games. If you've never played it before you must, but also play Darkestville Castle because it's a fun game.

Selected CAT mode first time... Imagine my look on my face... ♥ Other than that it's pretty OK, the only annoying thing is that when you click on the hotspot you got ALL 3 options available to you interact/examine/TalkTo and that does not mean you can do either of them that's a confusing bummer for the game. And main actor's voice is meh (for English), jokes are fine but voice cannot express it in a fun way.

Aug. 2024

This was a fun game with charming graphics, nice voice-acting and it's style reminded me a lot of Monkey Island 3 (the end even of Monkey Island 2 too), but I would only buy it when it's on sale because it's not really the biggest game. The puzzles are easy to solve for but some of them are still challenging and I did enjoy the game-humor too.
