So much fun, intuitive puzzles, funny dialogue, charming old school point and click. Will definitely get part 2.

Fun PnC Adventure!

Really had fun with this -- made me think of Space Quest with all of the silly references and what not. Most of the puzzles were accessible and not require over the top leaps of logic, except I did have to find a few hints on the last act! Worth the price, and now Im about ready to dive into the second one!

Lost progress (repeatedly)

I love the gameplay and content but keep losing progress. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to play the later chapters.

Genial…

Wer Maniac Mansion mochte, wird dieses Spiel lieben. Toller Humor! Und entgegen der Beschreibung auch komplett auf Deutsch!
