How it feels

A lighthearted, puzzle-filled point-and-click adventure with a comedic, cartoonish feel and a sprawling, whimsical story.

What players say

Players say this third entry salvages the series after a disappointing sequel, with puzzles that are logical and fair most of the time. The built-in hint system is appreciated, but some find the plot rushed and the audio has oddities.
