The Knobbly Crook

This is a "must" for everyone who is into point-and-click quests, especially if you remember Sierra and Telltale. So start downloading while you read this. Pros: The art: love it. Everything is completely unique and author has done best to evade any overdone things. The details are clearly worked on, but do not give the "overly pulished round corner" feeling that the latest games of this genre do. The Reality:...

Excellent point n click adventure game! I thouroughly enjoyed the story, the interactions, and that feeling of not knowing WTF I'm supposed to do the entire time until I just click stuff randomly and succeed. Can't wait for Chapter 2! The game isn't very difficult, I got "stuck" a few times for 10 minutes or so at a time but was able to figure out everything without the use of a guide.

The puzzles are pretty straightforward, and I only had a little difficulty in one spot. The dialog is pretty...

A lavish point 'n' click of old-schoolish design that is far too good to be free. Naturally, I instantly fell in love with it because it is a work of fascinatingly grotesque, consistently clever, incredibly unique, bitingly satirical, and internally consistent high fantasy framed in one of my favorite genres of game -- but beyond this, I love it because it's an obvious labor of love, with the hallmarks of a work...

This game is awesome! It's free so you have no excuse not to install it and jump into the intensely creative world the developers have created. It scratched my itch for old school point and click adventure gaming, all the while making me feel really weird and tripped out because of the language, the out of the box art style, and the bizarre-o humour at every turn. I got majorly stuck at one point and needed some...
