Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! Special Edition Double Pack is a wildly chaotic collection of point-and-click adventure games that proudly celebrates classic adventure game design while constantly mocking it at the same time. Developed by Size Five Games, the collection combines two absurd comedy adventures built around ridiculous puzzles, bizarre science fiction scenarios, nonstop sarcasm, and a style of humor that feels heavily inspired by classic LucasArts games. Rather than focusing on emotional storytelling or serious narratives, both games commit fully to outrageous comedy and self-aware parody, creating an experience that feels intentionally ridiculous from beginning to end. The collection follows Ben and Dan, two hopelessly incompetent roommates whose ordinary lives spiral into complete madness involving time travel disasters, alternate dimensions, alien invasions, Nazi dinosaurs, and collapsing timelines. The stories become increasingly absurd with every chapter, constantly escalating situations far beyond anything remotely logical. What makes the narrative entertaining is not realism or coherence, but the complete willingness to embrace nonsense for the sake of comedy. The games rarely take themselves seriously for even a moment, and nearly every scene exists mainly to deliver another joke, parody, or bizarre situation. Humor is unquestionably the heart of the experience. Nearly every line of dialogue, environmental interaction, and inventory item contains some form of joke or sarcastic commentary. Ben and Dan constantly break the fourth wall by openly discussing point-and-click adventure mechanics, mocking puzzle logic, and arguing about genre conventions directly with the player. The games frequently make fun of the absurd inventory combinations and strange puzzle solutions that define classic adventure games while still fully embracing those same mechanics themselves. This self-awareness gives the collection a distinct personality that feels both nostalgic and modern at the same time. Ben There, Dan That! serves as the shorter and simpler introduction to the series. Originally released as freeware before receiving the Special Edition upgrade, the game quickly establishes the chaotic dynamic between the protagonists while throwing them into increasingly bizarre science fiction scenarios. The pacing remains extremely fast, constantly moving players between strange locations and absurd situations without spending much time on serious worldbuilding. Although mechanically simpler than its sequel, the game succeeds because of its energetic writing and nonstop comedic momentum. Time Gentlemen, Please! expands the formula significantly and feels far more ambitious overall. The sequel revolves around time travel and the catastrophic consequences caused almost entirely by Ben and Dan’s terrible decisions. This setup allows the story to spiral into increasingly ridiculous territory involving paradoxes, alternate timelines, historical disasters, and universe-ending chaos. The larger scope gives the writers far more opportunities for elaborate jokes, genre satire, and creative puzzle situations, making the sequel feel more polished and confident than the original game. The puzzle design follows the traditional point-and-click structure involving item collection, inventory combinations, environmental interactions, and dialogue-based progression. Most puzzles are intentionally accessible and designed to maintain pacing rather than frustrate players with impossibly obscure solutions. While some classic adventure game logic still appears occasionally, the games generally avoid becoming excessively punishing. The developers clearly wanted players to continue experiencing the humor and story instead of spending hours trapped on individual puzzles. One of the strongest aspects of the collection is how much optional dialogue and interaction content exists throughout both games. Examining random objects, combining unusual inventory items, or attempting obviously incorrect solutions often produces unique joke responses and sarcastic commentary. The games constantly reward curiosity and experimentation because even failed actions usually result in entertaining dialogue. This makes exploration consistently enjoyable even during slower moments or puzzle-solving sequences. The writing style leans heavily into British humor, absurdity, and crude comedy. Pop culture references, gaming jokes, science fiction parodies, and intentionally immature humor appear constantly throughout both adventures. Some jokes are clever genre deconstructions while others rely entirely on randomness and shock value. The collection rarely attempts subtle comedy, instead overwhelming players with a constant stream of sarcasm, ridiculous situations, and self-aware nonsense. Visually, the games intentionally embrace a low-budget retro presentation inspired by older point-and-click adventures from the early 1990s. The pixel art and animations are simple but expressive enough to support the exaggerated tone and bizarre scenarios. While the graphics are undeniably rough compared to larger commercial adventure titles, the intentionally primitive style eventually becomes part of the charm. The visual simplicity complements the comedic atmosphere and reinforces the feeling of playing an exaggerated parody of classic adventure games. The soundtrack and sound design are relatively modest but effective enough for the style of game being presented. Music tracks support the comedic pacing without becoming repetitive too quickly, while the absence of full voice acting gives the collection an old-school adventure game feeling. Since the experience relies heavily on reading dialogue, players who dislike text-heavy games may struggle with the pacing, but the writing remains energetic enough to keep conversations entertaining. The collection’s greatest accomplishment is how well it understands the appeal of classic point-and-click adventures. Instead of simply copying old LucasArts formulas directly, the games actively parody and deconstruct adventure game conventions while still functioning as legitimate adventure titles themselves. Fans of older games in the genre will recognize countless references to puzzle design clichés, inventory logic, and classic adventure storytelling techniques hidden throughout the dialogue and gameplay. However, the humor will not appeal to everyone. Much of the comedy relies on profanity, immature jokes, surreal randomness, and specifically British comedic sensibilities that may feel exhausting or repetitive for some players. Certain jokes intentionally push toward offensive territory purely for shock value, and the constant sarcasm can occasionally become overwhelming during longer play sessions. The puzzle design, while generally entertaining, also lacks the complexity and brilliance of the classic games that inspired it. Some puzzles are relatively simple item combinations without particularly creative twists, and experienced adventure game players may occasionally progress through sections too easily. The interface and movement systems also feel somewhat outdated by modern standards. For fans of old-school adventure games, bizarre science fiction comedy, and self-aware genre parody, the collection delivers a consistently entertaining experience filled with ridiculous situations and memorable dialogue. Ben and Dan’s disastrous adventures remain chaotic, immature, and intentionally nonsensical, but that complete dedication to absurdity is exactly what makes the games so enjoyable. Rating: 8/10
"Time Gentlemen, Please!" is the sequel to "Ben There, Dan That!" and while latter was as far as I am concerned 90/10 funny/crass, this one makes it to maybe 60/40, or even anywhere from 40/60 to 10/90 if just not in the mood. It is also a lot harder and longer; while BTDT takes probably 3 or 4 hours to run through, less than double that for TGP would be fast. But that's to say that the puzzling is in fact often pretty good (even if equally often silly) and most genre fans should at least together with BTDT enjoy this. Yet my 36 hours of playtime here says this to be one of those games where I was for 75% or more alt-tabbed to the desktop due to being too tired of it. Laughed once or twice but will remember the many more cringes more. Still a recommend -- but it wouldn't have been without BTDT.
