How it feels
A tricky, comedic retro point-and-click where assembling the right team of quirky characters matters as much as solving puzzles.

What players say
Players call it a faithful homage to Maniac Mansion that copies its structure, multiple characters, and puzzles, but opinion splits on a vampire lady who randomly traps the player, forcing a tedious escape. The puzzles are hard and the game has five endings, though several reviewers note dead ends and a thin story with little text.
