How it feels

A darkly funny, philosophical point-and-click adventure with retro hand-drawn visuals and a gothic medieval setting, where absurd humor and existential themes mix with exploratory gameplay.

What players say

Players say this is the weakest of the three Joe Richardson games, with humor that leans more on sex jokes and shouting than the cleverness of its predecessors. It is still a Monty Python-like point-and-click adventure built from Renaissance paintings, though some find the handholding and excessive dialogue a step back.
