How it feels

Playing Gibbous feels like exploring a lovingly hand-drawn, darkly comic cartoon where you solve quirky puzzles while a talking cat and a detective bumble through a Lovecraftian mystery.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and lovecraftian parody humor, often comparing it to Monkey Island. The puzzles are on the easy side, with most playthroughs lasting 6-9 hours. There is some split on the humor and voice acting, with a few reviewers finding them cringey.
