How it feels

A lighthearted, reference-filled point-and-click adventure where you solve silly puzzles and chat with odd characters to help a lazy nerd get off the couch.

What players say

Players say it is a very short homage to classic Sierra point-and-click adventures with easy puzzles and a retro pixel look. Some find the writing and humor weak with unresponsive hotspots, while others enjoy the nostalgia and charm despite a clunky interface and two difficult action sequences.
